| Place the ricotta, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, extra flavor ingredients from the 3 in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Start mixing on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about a minute. Taste and adjust (more caramel, lime juice, ...). If doing the toffee stir in the toffee bits once the caramel taste is good. Transfer to a shallow bowl and smooth out the filling with the back of a spoon or rubber spatula. Toss the graham crackers and pistachios in a small bowl to combine, if doing the toffee version add a few toffee bits as well, then and sprinkle over the dip in an even layer. Serve with the Fried Wontons. Fried Wonton Chips: Pour the oil into a small saucepan to at least 1/2-inch up the side of the pan. Heat over medium-low heat until it reaches 375 degrees F. Using tongs, add 4 pieces of wonton wrapper at a time to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet or plate to drain. Immediately sift the confectioners’ sugar over the wontons (both sides) | |
