Chocolate Cannoli
- 16 square wonton skins
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (16 ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
- 12 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and use to lightly brush both sides of a wonton skin.
- Sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
- Shape into a tube by curling opposite corners around a cannoli mold.
- Place, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat to make a total of 16 shells (work in batches, if necessary, according to how many molds you have).
- Bake for 7 minutes, or until lightly browned at the edges and set.
- Remove from the oven and let stand on a rack for 3 minutes, or until the shells have cooled on the molds and are crisp.
- Gently slide them onto the rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat well.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of the chocolate chips.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, spoon the ricotta mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip.
- Pipe into the shells from both ends.
- Place the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon butter in a small microwaveable bowl.
- Microwave on high power, stirring every 20 seconds, until the chocolate is almost melted.
- Stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Using a fork, drizzle over the cannoli.
