Chocolate Cannoli Cones

Ingredients

  • 12 sugar cones
  • 3.4 cup white chocolate melting wafers I use Merckens
  • 1/4 cup red pink, white nonpareil sprinkles
  • 24 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 large heart sprinkles

Instructions

  • For this recipe, you will want to drain the excess water out of the ricotta cheese, place cheesecloth or paper towel into a strainer, spoon ricotta cheese on top of the cheesecloth or paper towel, allow it to strain for an hour in a bowl in the sink. If you strain it longer, place it in the refrigerator. You can do this part overnight as well.
  • Squeeze any excess moisture from the ricotta by twisting the edges of of the cheesecloth or paper towel and applying a small amount of pressure onto the cheese.
  • Melt the white chocolate and dip the edges of the cones into it, then into sprinkles, allow this to dry completely before filling the cones.
  • Mix ricotta cheese with sugar, cocoa and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pipe the mixture into the cones (I used a #195 tip)
  • Place heart sprinkle on top.
  • Serve immediately after filling for best results. If you pre fill them, the cone will become a bit soft. Store in refrigerator.
