Dessert is one of my most favorite times of day!!! Have you had cannoli? I used to think that I could only get this luscious and amazing Italian dessert from the bakery. It is the perfect combination of a crunchy shell surrounding a sweet ricotta cheese and cream filling. I am so thrilled that I can make these right at home! When I am craving something sweet these are my go too Italian treat fix.
The ice cream cones are an easy to find shell for the decadent ricotta filling. Just to take the waffle cones over the top, we dip them in melted chocolate and roll them in mini chocolate chips. Can you have too much chocolate? I think not!
There is still time to make these sweet treats for Valentine’s Day! They are so amazing and addicting. You will be craving them all the time.
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. whole milk ricotta cheese
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 10-12 waffle cones
Directions:
- Strain ricotta cheese using paper towels or cheese cloth set in a strainer. Strain for 30 minutes. Discard water drippings.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla, & cinnamon to ricotta cheese. Stir to incorporate.
- Pour whipping cream into a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold ricotta mixture into whipped cream.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Scoop into a zip bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in microwave.
- Dip waffle cones into melted chocolate. Roll in remaining chocolate chips. Set on wax paper to cool.
- Snip off one corner of zip bag with ricotta cream filling. Pipe filling into waffle cones.
These cannoli cones look delicious. They are the perfect treats to enjoy at any children’s party or family gathering.
My Hubs grew up in an Italian family and love cannolis. I have got to try these the next time we have a family get together.
Yum, I love cannoli. This looks like a fun and simple twist on them.
I am totally hiring you for my next party! These look delicious and I could not make them look nearly as pretty as what you did right here.

Cannoli are yummi-licious!I love the idea of putting everything into a waffle cone. Great idea! I have wanted to make these at home but never wanted to deal with frying cannoli shells.
I love Cannolis. I had no idea they are easy to make. I can’t wait to try this.
Those look amazing! I’ve always loved any kind of ice cream cone. I’ll have to make these very soon. Yummy!
Oh my goodness these look to die for! Cannolis are one of my favorite pastries but I have never tried to make my own.
This looks really heavenly. So love it!
These chocolate chip cannoli cones look so delicious. They will be a perfect dessert this weekend. I hope mine turn out as good as yours. I wish i could make Eccles like our local bakery does.
My family is going to love these chocolate chip cannoli cones. I am in love with the carrot cake our bakery makes. I have tried to make it but it does not compare.
I will have to get the ingredients i need to make this recipe. It looks so delicious and easy to make. I have never tried to make Cannolis before.
This is a great dessert idea. I will have to try making these chocolate chip cannoli cones this week with the kids.
Yuum. looks like i wanna try this on my coming birthday. Thanks for the procedure
We have a nice sized Italian population so see cannolis often in my area. Yours look as good as some of those I’ve seen in stores.
One of my coworkers would love this. Her guilty pleasure is cannolis.
Oh these look so amazing. I think my whole family would go nuts for these, so I will have to try them out. They look SO good.
I love this recipe hack! Using cones would be the way I would want to go too!
Cannolis are one of my favorite desserts! These look amazing! Yumm!
This looks so mouth watering. I may have to give this a shot but I’m sure the kids would probably eat it all if I make it and I won’t get a bite. 🙂
What a cute snack. My kids would be all over that, it would be wonderful for a summer treat with friends over.
Such a mouth watering food 🙂 I want to try these. For sure my nephew would love these too.
Oh my god. Such a heavenly food. I want this right now
These cones look so good. Chocolate dipped cones are the best too. I haven’t had a cone in a long time.
