Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Fillings

    Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios into the ricotta mixture.

  3. 3

    Fill the Shells

    Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off, fill each mini cannoli shell with the ricotta filling.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the filled cannoli for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
