Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
“Such an easy dip to make and everyone loves it,” raves Natasha MacIntyre. “I broke up waffle bowls and used those and also used dark chocolate-drizzled pretzels as my dippers. The sweet/salty combo is always delicious!”
“This was awesome,” according to Steph. “Party guests loved it. Came together quickly. I used ricotta but would like to try it with mascarpone next time. Would recommend putting this in the fridge for an hour or so before serving.”
“I used 8 oz of mascarpone instead of cream cheese,” says donnampesce. “I let the ricotta drain overnight on cheese cloth in a colander over a bowl, then mixed all ingredients together next day by hand not a mixer. I refrigerated it for a few hours before serving. Sooo yummy!”
