No-Bake Cannoli Cheesecake is a simple, quick spin on Cannoli! This pie is a perfect ending to any meal!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of On-Cor. The opinions and text are all mine.
This is our family’s busy season… and by season I mean decade. It seems as though we are driving to and from a different kid activity every day. There are days I don’t have time to cook, let alone gather the family around the dinner table! This is when I rely on the lasagna sitting in my freezer! With On-Cor entree´s, I know I’ll have dinner ready in under an hour!
With dinner quickly underway, I sometimes suddenly find myself with time to make dessert! Today I am sharing a simple no-bake cannoli cheesecake which is the perfect ending for the meaty lasagna!
How To Make No Bake Cannoli Cheesecake
No bake cheesecakes are great when you are short on time! This recipe starts with a homemade, baked cookie crust which is made out of shortbread cookies. It is perfectly acceptable to use a store-bought crust, especially since we are all about getting food to your family quickly!
The cannoli filling is a mixture of cream cheese, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, whipped topping, and mini chocolate chips. Once the filling is in the crust you can place the pie in the fridge (if you allowed for a lot of time) or if you want this pie to ready when your lasagna comes out of the oven, then place the pie the freezer to speed up the setting process.
Cannoli Cheesecake Recipe Substitutions:
- I used shortbread cookies as my crumbs for my crust, but graham crackers, vanilla wafers, gingersnaps, or even biscotti can be crushed up for the crust. OF COURSE, you can use any prebaked cracker crust!
- To be true to the cannoli, I used ricotta cream, but the filling can be altered by using mascarpone instead of ricotta or use a combination.
- I folded in Cool Whip, but feel free to make homemade whipped cream.
If your goal is to get dinner served to your family on those busy nights then reach for the On0Cor Meat Lasagna. If you also want to get dessert to the table, then try this simple no-bake cannoli cheesecake!
