Cannoli Filling

Method

Cannoli Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ricotta

    In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of ricotta cheese. Make sure the ricotta is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Ricotta

    Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the ricotta cheese. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Flavor the Filling

    Mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of cinnamon into the ricotta and sugar mixture. Blend well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips into the ricotta mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking the chips.

  5. 5

    Chill the Filling

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cannoli filling for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
