Preparation

Step 1

Step1
Place 2 coffee filters inside colander, and place colander over large bowl. Spoon ricotta cheese into coffee filters, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or until ready to fill cannoli.
Step2
Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
Step3
Cut 5 (12-inch) squares of foil. Tightly roll each into log about 12 inches long by 1 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheet, and spray logs well with cooking spray. Unroll and cut 7 phyllo sheets into 3 (4-inch) pieces each, making 21 pieces (you will use 20 of them). Spray 1 side of each of 2 pieces with cooking spray. Place pieces sprayed sides together, and roll up on half of 1 foil log to make 1 cannoli shell. Spray top of shell with cooking spray, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar. Repeat on other half of log to make second cannoli shell on log. Continue for total of 5 logs with 2 cannoli shells on each.
Step4
Bake logs of shells on cookie sheet about 10 minutes or shells are until golden brown. Cool completely, about 10 minutes. Carefully twist ends of foil to compress foil logs for easy removal. Carefully slide shells off logs.
Step5
When ready to fill shells, place drained ricotta in medium bowl. Add yogurt, and stir until smooth. Spoon mixture into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off small bottom corner, and pipe filling evenly into shells.
Step6
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. In small bowl, microwave chocolate and oil uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir until melted. Dip cannoli ends into melted chocolate mixture and immediately into candy sprinkles. NOTE: if dipping ends is desired, fill cannoli AFTER dipping in chocolate.
