Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained well)
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 6 pieces Waffle cones
- 0.25 cup Toasted coconut flakes (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Melted chocolate (for cone tips, optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and drained crushed pineapple, making sure the pineapple is evenly incorporated into the mixture.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Optional: If you’d like to decorate the waffle cones, dip the open ends into melted chocolate and sprinkle with toasted coconut or chopped pistachios. Allow the chocolate to set for 10 minutes before filling the cones.
Using a piping bag or spoon, carefully fill each waffle cone with the pineapple ricotta mixture. Start from the bottom of the cone and work your way up to ensure even filling.
Top each filled cone with a sprinkle of toasted coconut, chopped pistachios, or additional mini chocolate chips if desired.
Serve immediately for maximum crispness, or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. Note: The cones may soften slightly if stored for too long.
