Time 1h25m

Yield 8 cannoli

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 store-bought cannoli shells
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 quart good-quality ricotta cheese
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1/4 cup chopped citron (candied orange peel)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the chocolate:
  • Melt chocolate over a double boiler and dip half of each cannoli shell in the chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off then lay shells out on a silpat or waxed paper-lined tray to set while you prepare the filling.
  • For the filling:
  • Line a colander with cheesecloth, add the ricotta and let drain until very dry. Squeeze out any excess moisture in cheesecloth. Place the ricotta into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on high for 5 to 7 minutes until light and fluffy. Add sugar, orange zest, chopped citron and vanilla extract, then mix on medium until just combined. Place the filling into a piping bag and fill chocolate dipped cannoli with the mixture. Serve as soon as possible.

These cannoli were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The orange ricotta filling was delicious, and the chocolate dipping added a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this recipe, but I would use less sugar next time.

The chocolate dipping on these cannoli was a bit too thick for my taste, but the orange ricotta filling was delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe, but I would use a thinner chocolate dipping next time.
