Categories     Other Desserts

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 box phyllo pastry cups
2 1/4 c whole milk ricotta cheese
2 1/4 c mascapone cheese
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c mini chocolate chips
pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine all ingredients except phyllo cups and chocolate chips until creamy. Pipe or spoon filling into cups. Top with mini chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cannoli cups will taste.
  • Make sure the ricotta cheese is well-drained. If the cheese is too wet, the filling will be loose and runny.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cups to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cups until they are golden brown. If the cups are not baked long enough, they will be soft and chewy.
  • Let the cups cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
  • Use a variety of fillings to create different flavors of cannoli cups. Some popular fillings include chocolate chips, nuts, candied fruit, and whipped cream.
  • Garnish the cannoli cups with powdered sugar, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts before serving.

Conclusion:

Cannoli cups are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of fillings to choose from, cannoli cups are a versatile dessert that can be customized to suit any taste. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just as a snack, cannoli cups are sure to be a hit.
