If Delish could be best summed up in a single dessert—you know how seriously we take sweets—it'd have to be cheesecake. To say that our readers love it is an understatement. You guys know no bounds when it comes to cheesecake. From a s'mores-inspired cheesecake to one topped with sugar cookies (sweets on sweets!), cheesecake recipes rule our site. 

And while no one can deny the pure bliss of biting into a slice of classic cheesecakes, it's the creative ones that are king. Enter cannoli: This ricotta cheesecake studded with mini chocolate chips and topped with broken up waffle cones is as delicious as it is adorable—a real show-stopper for the holidays.

Unlike our shortcut no-bake cheesecakes, this one is the real deal...which, as anyone knows who's made a cheesecake before, means that it takes time..a lot of it. But it's worth the few hours of cooling time. The combination of ricotta and cream cheese creates a luxuriously rich but not too dense texture that is super addicting. Get the recipe.

This isn't the first time our love of cannoli has inspired a new dessert: We went crazy for cannoli dip and this icebox cake, which is a serious timesaver.
