Cannoli Dip comes together in 5 minutes with just 5 ingredients. It’s super easy to halve the recipe for a small group, or double it for a large party.

This Recipe For Cannoli Dip Is Perfect For Your Sweet Tooth!

A perfect cannoli is one of my favorite desserts, and also one of the most hard-to-find. It’s not exactly easy finding a great cannoli in the Detroit area. So unless I’m boarding a flight to Boston, it’s a dessert that lives largely in my dreams.

Sure, I could make them at home. But, making them from scratch is pretty labor intensive and not something I usually have time for.

So, I created this Cannoli Dip recipe as a simple way to enjoy some of the *flavors* of cannoli with minimal effort.

The mascarpone, ricotta and lightly sweet vanilla flavor are all there. The crunchy mini chocolate chips are bountiful (and, you can add chopped pistachios if you want). Truly, it’s like 98% as satisfying as a cannoli, and well, that’s good enough for me!

Easy Chocolate Mousse is so simple to make at home that you may never order it at a restaurant again. Make with pantry staples; no eggs required!

Easy Chocolate Mousse For Any Skill Level

Chocolate mousse is the poster child for “feels fancy, couldn’t be easier to make.” It’s funny that restaurants get away with charging $15 (or more!) for this dessert. Once I show you how easy it is to make at home, you may never order it at a restaurant again.

I did a ton of research and tested multiple different ways to make chocolate mousse (eggs? no eggs? whip the cream and fold it in?) before settling on this one as the winner in the easiest + most delicious equation.

Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or just beginning to experiment in the kitchen, this recipe is perfect for all skill levels. It’s great for Valentine’s Day or just any day where you want a chocolate treat.

The Creamy Chicken Pasta that will get a “Mom, this is so good!” The combination of golden brown chicken, spinach and a bright lemon cream sauce will have pasta lovers of all ages complimenting you!

This Creamy Chicken Pasta is a Perfect Weeknight Dinner!

“Mom, this is so good I want you to take my photo with it.” <— The best review a dish will ever get, from my 5-year-old daughter.

And take her photo I did, smiling up at me from her plate of creamy chicken pasta. A recipe that almost seems tailor-made to be loved by people of all ages. Chicken? Good! Pasta? Good! Creamy sauce? GOOD.

Think of this as a slightly more modern take on chicken fettuccine alfredo. The sauce is still luxurious but a bit thinner, and not goopy or too rich. The chicken is golden brown with some crispy bits that everybody loves.

The combination of lemon zest and lemon juice adds a brightness that keeps you coming back for bite after bite. And just like with my famous creamy salmon pasta, there’s a whole heck of a lot of spinach in there that’s cooked down to practically nothing, so you’re getting a big dose of vitamins and nutrients twirled around your fork with the noodles.

Vanilla Creme Brulee is a make-ahead restaurant-style dessert with rich and creamy custard topped with crunchy sugar crust. This post will explain which ramekins to buy and how to torch it perfectly.

Vanilla Creme Brûlée is timeless!

Sometimes, you just can’t improve on a classic. Once in awhile, I love a modern restaurant dessert with unexpected ingredients and preparations.

But truly, is there anything better than an amazing dish of creme brulee? The rich custard paired with the crackly torched sugar top is irresistible, in my opinion.

What’s funny is that I’ve published more “creative” creme brulee flavors, but oddly, I’ve never published the most traditional version ever. The kind I was taught to make my first week of culinary school.

So today, I’m sharing my perfect recipe for vanilla bean creme brulee. It will never go out of style!
