Ingredients
Scale
- 12 premade cannoli shells
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for dipping)
- 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese (well-drained)
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (plus more for garnish)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip both ends of each cannoli shell into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to coat the inside of each shell for extra crunch and stability. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and smooth.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
- Pipe the filling into each cannoli shell from both ends to ensure the center is filled.
- Garnish the ends with extra mini chocolate chips.
- Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the ricotta is well-drained to avoid a runny filling.
- Chill the cannoli before serving for best texture and flavor.
- Fill the shells close to serving time to keep them crispy.
