How to Make Chocolate Cannoli

  1. Prepare the cannoli shells: If using store-bought shells, skip to step 3. If making your own, follow the cannoli shell recipe (recipe not provided, requires separate search). Bake according to package instructions or recipe.
  2. Make the chocolate filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips: In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
  4. Combine the melted chocolate and filling: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the ricotta mixture until well combined.
  5. Fill the cannoli shells: Using a pastry bag or a ziploc bag with a corner snipped off, pipe or spoon the chocolate filling into the cannoli shells.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the filled cannoli for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  7. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chocolate shavings, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts before serving. Enjoy!
