No Bake Cannoli Cheesecake
I’ve always loved the combination of mascarpone and ricotta found in cannolis. The rich creamy texture and subtle sweetness is the perfect dessert in my opinion. With Valentine’s Day around the corner I thought why not take those same ingredients and create a cannoli cheesecake. I found a heart shaped silicone mold for a few bucks online but a 9 inch springform pan would work just as well.
Good Dee’s Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust
I figured what better crust than a double chocolate chip cookie crust so I made it easy on myself and just used this fantastic mix. I had made these cookies before and just topped them with whipped cream and a sliced strawberry which is a fantastic shortcut if you’re looking for a quick and easy Valentine’s dessert. Instead of making 12 small cookies I just made one big one. You may need to bake it just a few extra minutes but as soon as it’s done just let it cool and it will set up perfectly.
Additional Ingredients
You can decorate this cannoli cheesecake as much or as little as you like. I thought the shaved Baker's Chocolate on top with the strawberries looked great but the side of the cake just looked naked to me. Luckily I had some keto friendly Good Dee's Chocolate Chips to decorate the sides as well. This recipe is delicious anyway you slice it and will be a showstopper sure to impress that special someone.

This was the best cheesecake recipe I have made and my family agrees too. I had some of the Good Dee's mixes on hand, however did not have the double chocolate chip. I did have the Pistachio shortbread cookie mix that I used for the crust and it was so good. I will definitely make this cheesecake again (with a different cookie mix as they no longer sell the pistachio shortbread). Thank you for the awesome recipe!
Thank you so much I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!!!
