Ok, I found another thread where someone was looking for this recipe, they were referred to joyces for it, but it's not on there and there is a download for the recipe, but I can't get it to pull up where it is legible.

Can someone do me the hugest favor EVER, and post the recipe?

I THANK YOU DEEPLY!

just a bit of a tip. If you put about 1/2 cup of marscapone cheese in it too it tastes more authentic!
It is also better as a bring along dessert. It tastes way better if it is allowed to set for a couple of hours.

I LOVE this recipe! I've been making it alot as a second one:)
 
Does this really taste like a cannoli? Did anyone have trouble with the dip separating over time? I know on another thread they discussed that happening. I'd love to try it.
 
Love this! It's great with berries, sweet tortilla chips, or even chocolate flavored graham cracker sticks. :)

I read somewhere that if you use the fat free ricotta, it can separate. I've used the lo-fat & never have had a problem with separating:)
