Cannolis
Ingredients
1 cup reduced fat ricotta cheese
1/2 a container of light whipped topping
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
3/4 tsp almond extract
1/4-1/2 tsp orange zest, fresh
3/4 oz finely chopped dark chocolate
8 vanilla pizzelle cookies, Order on Amazon
Instructions
1.
First, take your ricotta cheese and place in in a cheese cloth in a strainer
over a bowl and let any excess liquids drain for an hour in the refrigerator.
While that is straining, place remaining ingredients (besides the cookies) in
a mixing bowl and fold the ingredients together.
Once ricotta has drained for at least 60 minutes blend it into the whipped
cream mixture with a hand blender on low speed until smooth and creamy.
Place the mixture in a bag with the tip cut to allow you to pipe it into your
soon-to-be pizzelle cannolis.
Microwave each pizzelle cookie individually for about 20 seconds. You will
want to form your cannoli with your fingers as soon as you remove it from the
microwave. Let cool. They will hold their new form.
Fill your cookies with your ricotta filling and sprinkle with additional
chocolate if desired.
