    A lighter chocolate cheesecake dip made with ricotta, cream cheese and cocoa powder. 

    Ricotta cheese is a popular dessert option among the low carbohydrate community. I first tried it in a “South Beach Diet” recipe. My ricotta cheesecake dip has been very popular on My TX Kitchen, so I decided to make a chocolate version.

    Ingredients you'll need

    Just four ingredients are needed to make this simple chocolate cheesecake dip. 

    • Ricotta Cheese – Use part-skim ricotta for a lighter cheesecake dip. For a richer tasting dip, opt for whole-milk ricotta cheese. 
    • Cream Cheese – I have made this with both regular and light cream cheese. 
    • Powdered Sugar
    • Cocoa Powder

    How to make

    1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or bowl of a stand mixer. I like to make this in my food processor. 
    2. Adjust sweetness and chocolate flavor to taste. Serve and enjoy! 

    Serving & Storage

    Serve the chocolate cheesecake dip with sliced strawberries, raspberries, graham crackers or simply by itself for a sweet treat. My personal favorite is to enjoy this with strawberries.

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Best if eaten within three days.
