Cannoli Poke Cake is a creamy and indulgent dessert inspired by classic Italian cannoli flavors. Soft vanilla cake is filled with sweet ricotta cream and mini chocolate chips, then topped with whipped topping and powdered sugar for a chilled dessert everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • Ingredients listed on the cake mix box such as eggs, oil, and water
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 container whipped topping
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Additional mini chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake the vanilla cake according to the package directions in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Allow the cake to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
  3. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
  4. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it fills the holes.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to soak into the cake.
