By MJH

Ingredients

• 10 ounces dark chocolate
• 4 medium cannoli shells
• 1 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 3 tsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp freshly grated orange peel
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Place dark chocolate in the top of a double boiler over gently boiling water.

Stir chocolate until completely melted and remove from heat.

Dip each cannoli into the chocolate, completely coating each shell, set aside on a wire rack.

Mix ricotta cheese, sugar, chocolate chips, orange peel and vanilla extract in a medium bowl on low until well blended.

One hour before serving, place mixture in a piping bag without a tip and fill both ends of the cannoli shells.
