Ingredients
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 pint of part-skim ricotta cheese
- ½ cup of blanched slivered almonds
- ⅓ cup of miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of amaretto liqueur
- 12 crispy cannoli shells
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 12 vibrant maraschino cherries
Step 1
Combine ricotta cheese and confectioners sugar in a spacious bowl, blending until smooth. Mix in a generous amount of almonds, chocolate chips, and a splash of almond liqueur for an extra kick of flavor.
Step 2
Once the mixture is well combined, delicately fill the cannoli shells by either spooning the filling from the center out or using a pastry bag for a more precise finish.
Step 3
For a decorative touch, dust individual serving plates with a mix of powdered sugar and cocoa before placing the cannoli. Top off the presentation by garnishing each plate with vibrant cherries to add a pop of color and freshness.
