Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese drained
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, and orange zest.
  • Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a large tip. Pipe the filling into cannoli shells.

Notes

For the best results, use fresh ricotta cheese and allow it to drain overnight if possible. Serve the filled cannolis immediately for the best crispiness, or keep the filling refrigerated until ready to use.
