Preparation

Step 1

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook and stir coconut until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, sweetener, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until uniform.

Stir in half of the toasted coconut and 1 tbsp. chocolate chips. Spoon mixture into cones.

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

For fancy cones with minimal effort, pipe the mixture into the cones. Just transfer the filling mixture to a large plastic bag and squeeze it down toward a bottom corner. Snip off that corner with scissors, creating a hole for piping the mixture.
