Step 1
Start by mixing the ricotta cheese and 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl until everything’s well combined. Then, stir in the almonds, chocolate chips, and a splash of almond liqueur for a little extra flavor. Carefully fill each cannoli shell with the mixture—either spoon it in gently or use a pastry bag if you have one, starting from the center and working outwards. Once they’re filled, dust the cannoli or the serving plates with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. For a nice finishing touch, add a few cherries on the side. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dessert blends the crispy, golden shell with a creamy, sweet filling studded with chocolate chips. The contrast of textures and flavors makes every bite delightful and satisfying. It’s a fun twist on a classic treat that’s sure to impress.
How to serve
Serve chilled or at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. Pair with a cup of espresso or a sweet dessert wine to enhance the flavors. Fresh berries on the side add a nice, refreshing balance.
Storage & leftovers
Store the filling separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep the shells in a dry, cool place to preserve their crunch. Assemble just before serving to maintain the best texture.
