How to Make Chocolate Cannoli
- 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.
- Make the chocolate filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- 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.
- Combine the melted chocolate and filling: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the ricotta mixture until well combined.
- 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.
- Chill: Refrigerate the filled cannoli for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chocolate shavings, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts before serving. Enjoy!
