Cannoli Cheeseball with Vanilla Waffers - 1

I love a good cheeseball especially around the holidays. I recently made a few different kinds of cheeseballs. This amazing Cheddar Bacon Pistachio Cheeseball and this Bacon Ranch Cheeseball . They were all savory but I had to make one that was sweet.

So in searching for a yummy and sweet cheeseball I found this Cannoli Cheeseball recipe on the Rachel Ray Show . A cannoli cheeseball!? My favorite part of the cannoli is the creamy and sweet filling inside. I couldn’t wait to try these cheeseball out!

This cheeseball was so easy to make. It has all of the yummy ingredients you use to make a cannoli. Ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips… they all come together quickly in this cheeseball. Because the ricotta cheese creates a softer texture, you have to form it into a ball and wrap it in plastic. After about an hour the cheeseball is set and ready to serve!

The creamy and delicious filling that you love turned into a cheeseball!
