Chocolate Chip Cannoli
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (about 1/2 cup), softened
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate minichips
- Place colander in a 2-quart glass measuring cup or medium bowl. Line colander with 3 layers of cheesecloth, allowing cheesecloth to extend over outside edges. Spoon ricotta cheese into colander. Gather edges of cheesecloth; tie securely. Refrigerate 12 hours. Spoon drained cheese into a large bowl; discard liquid.
- Add powdered sugar, cream cheese, cornstarch, lemon rind, vanilla, and cinnamon to drained ricotta; beat with a mixer at medium speed until combined. Fold in chocolate minichips; cover and chill until ready to assemble cannoli.
- Spoon ricotta mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe 1 tablespoon into each end of prepared cannoli shells. Serve immediately.
