Crispy waffle cones filled with creamy, sweetened ricotta and mini chocolate chips — a fun, no-bake twist on classic cannoli.

Ingredients

Scale

Waffle Cones:

  • 12 waffle cones

Cannoli Cream:

  • 1 ½ cups (340g) ricotta cheese, drained
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream, cold
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¾ cup (130g) mini chocolate chips, divided

For Serving:

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Optional toppings: chopped pistachios, chocolate shavings, crushed waffle cone

Instructions

  1. Drain Ricotta: Place ricotta in a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Whip Heavy Cream: In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Mix Cannoli Cream: In another bowl, mix ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Combine Cream: Fold whipped cream into ricotta mixture until light and fluffy.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
  6. Fill Cones: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each waffle cone with the cannoli cream.
  7. Top and Chill: Top with extra chocolate chips, nuts, or toppings and chill for 15–30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, coat the inside of the cones with melted chocolate and let set before filling.
  • Best served the same day to keep the cones crisp.
