Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Kahlua liqueur
- 2 tbsp Crème de Cacao
- 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually sift the powdered sugar into the cheese mixture, stirring gently to incorporate completely and avoid lumps.
Add the vanilla extract, Kahlua, Crème de Cacao, and ground cinnamon to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, and the filling is smooth and fragrant.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up and for the flavors to meld beautifully.
Spoon the chilled filling into a piping bag fitted with a wide tip or a sturdy zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
Pipe the filling into prepared cannoli shells, ensuring each shell is generously filled from one end to the other.
Optional: Dust the filled cannoli with extra powdered sugar or garnish the ends with additional chocolate chips for presentation.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture, or store filled cannoli in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
