Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups ricotta cheese preferably whole milk
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Cannoli Shells
- 1 box 2 pieces pre-made pie crust dough
- oil for frying
- powdered sugar for dusting
Drizzle
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Preheat oil to 360 degrees F
- Open your pie crust dough and using a round cookie cutter or bowl that is 3-4 inches in diameter, cut out rounds for your cannoli.
- Wrap around the cannoli molds, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cook on a cooling rack
- In a large bowl, whip ricotta until smooth, then beat in powdered sugar, and peppermint extract into the ricotta.
- In a separate bowl whip cream until it is stiff, then gently fold into the ricotta mixture.
- Put mixture in a piping bag, set aside.
- Melt the chocolate chips in 20 second intervals using a microwave, stirring between each interval. Then stir the vegetable oil in to make it easier to drizzle.
- Once melted, gently either dip your pie shell cannoli into the chocolate, just one end, or drizzle on top.
- Then quickly sprinkle crushed peppermint or peppermint chocolate pieces over chocolate before it hardens.
- When ready to serve, pipe filling into the middle and enjoy.
