Bacon Peanut Butter Cannoli

By Coppermouse

A creamy peanut butter and banana filling encased in a crispy bacon shell

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup full fat ricotta cheese
• 1/2 banana, mashed
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil.

2. Using 6 cannoli tubes, wrap one slice of bacon around each. Wrap the bacon tightly, overlapping the edges so the bacon fully covers the wrapped portion of the tube.

3. Bake for 20 minutes or until bacon is as crisp as you'd like it.

4. Let cool for 20 minutes or until cool enough to handle easily. Use your hands to gently slide the bacon off the cannoli form while keeping its shape. You may need to wiggle it up and down the tube a bit to get them to come loose, but they should slide off fairly easily
.
5. While the bacon is cooling, mix together the ricotta, banana, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Spoon mixture into a piping bag and snip off the end.

6. Pipe the mixture into the bacon tubes. Gently press the mini chocolate chips into the ends of the filling.
