Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.33 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 15 pieces Phyllo shells (pre-baked)
- 0.25 cup Pistachios (chopped, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and orange zest to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Gently fold in 1/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips, reserving the remaining chips for topping, if desired.
Transfer the cannoli cream mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
Pipe the cream mixture into each pre-baked phyllo shell, filling them generously but not overflowing.
Top each filled cup with a sprinkle of the reserved mini chocolate chips or chopped pistachios.
If desired, dust the tops of the cannoli cups lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Serve immediately for best results or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving to keep the shells crisp.
