Prep: 15 min Servings: 12by Michael Swiney20 recipes>2 things I always think of when I make Cannoli's. The Godfather and "HOLY COW!",Phil Rizzuto. I know these are good. I do not like sweets. Once in a while, Ill get a taste for a snickers. I do not eat pies, cakes, whatever. How do I know its good? My kids say so. Ingredients
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
- 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
- 12 cannoli shells
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 12 maraschino cherries
Directions
- In a large bowl, stir ricotta cheese with 1 cup confectioners sugar until combined. Add almonds, chocolate chips and almond liqueur ( 1/8 teaspoon almond extract mixed with 1 tablespoon water can be substituted for the almond liqueur.)
- Carefully spoon into cannoli shells (or pipe from a pastry bag), filling from the center out.
- There are recipes for making Cannoli shells. They are fairly complicated to make. I usually just buy the shells unless I'm going to a party or something.
- Sprinkle individual serving plates with powdered sugar and cocoa, or sprinkle on cannoli. Garnish plates with cherries.
