Cannolis
Today I had planned on making my awesome chocolate chip cookies but after grocery shopping, cleaning, making chili and putting up our Christmas tree I was not up to it so my daughters and I decided to make cannolis. Cannolis are really easy to make especially if you buy the shells ;) (Who has time to make them from scratch!?!?!). The cream, however, can be made in a few short minutes. I use mascarpone cheese in mine to make the filling lighter and fluffier.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup ricotta
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon Baileys Irish Cream
1 cup chocolate chips
Cannoli shells
Extra powdered sugar and some cinnamon for topping.
Put all ingredients, except chocolate chips and cannoli shells, in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Then stir in chocolate chips.
Chill in fridge for 3 hours.
Put in pastry bag or plastic bag with corner cut off and squeeze into shells.
Top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Deelish :)
The filling can also be used as icing for a cake or cupcake or to dip fruit of angelfood cake in.
