Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups ricotta cheese, preferably whole milk
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 box (2 pieces) pre-made pie crust dough
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup crushed peppermint

Directions

• 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.
