Ingredients
- 1 package of pre-made cannoli shells
- 1 pound of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped nuts
- 2 tablespoons of orange zest
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the cannoli shells on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate chips, nuts, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture for the ricotta filling.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated.
- Carefully spoon the ricotta filling into the cooled cannoli shells, making sure to evenly distribute the mixture.
- Place the filled cannoli shells back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Notes
- Be sure to use a good quality ricotta cheese for best results.
- Feel free to add other ingredients such as dried fruits or chopped nuts to the ricotta mixture.
- If you’re short on time, you can use pre-made cannoli shells instead of making your own.
- If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, you can substitute chopped dark chocolate.
- For an extra special touch, drizzle the cannoli shells with melted chocolate before serving.
