Cannabis-Infused Emerald Pistachio Cannoli Dip with Shamrock Chips
Creamy, nutty, slightly sweet, and built for party grazing. This St. Patrick’s Day cannoli dip blends whipped ricotta, pistachio, and chocolate chips into a silky base, finished with a cannabis-infused honey swirl. Served with crisp shamrock-shaped pastry chips for dipping, it’s festive, sharable, and completely different from anything we’ve done so far.
