Ingredients
- 8 cannoli shells, homemade or store bought will work
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place ricotta cheese in a fine mesh strainer in the fridge to drain for 12 to 24 hours.
- When ready to prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the drained ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and orange zest (if using) until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch open tip. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before using.
- To assemble:
- Fill one end of each cannoli shell halfway with the filling using the pastry bag. Repeat from the other end. Alternatively, spoon the filling into the shells if a pastry bag is not available.
- Dip each end of the filled cannoli into remaining mini chocolate chips on a small plate, then lightly dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately.
