Time 40m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 11

Filling:
1 container whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pastry Cups:
flour
1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts
3 tbsp. coarse natural sugar (Turbinado)
1 tsp. cinnamon

Steps:

  • Prepare filling: In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine all ingredients for the filling except the chocolate chips and mix well until creamy. Place the filling in a 1-gallon plastic storage bag and chill while you make the cups.
  • Prepare pastry cups: Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Unroll the piecrusts onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle the top of each crust with the natural sugar and the cinnamon. Lightly roll over it with a rolling pin so that sugar and cinnamon are pressed into the dough. With a 2 1/2-3 inch round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out circles and lightly press them inside an ungreased mini muffin or mini cupcake pan to create a pastry cup.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until cups are golden. Remove from oven and allow cups to cool. Once cups are cool, they can be removed from tin and filled.
  • Remove filling from refrigerator, cut one of the bottom corners off the bag and pipe a little less than a tablespoon of filling into the cooled cannoli cups. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.

  • Lightly flour a work surface and unroll the pie crusts. Sprinkle both of the pie crusts with turbinado sugar and cinnamon. Gently roll a rolling pin over the top of the pie crusts to press the sugar and cinnamon into the dough. With a 2½-inch round cookie/biscuit cutter, cut out pastry rounds. Gently press each pastry round into ungreased mini muffin cups. (Note, you may need to gently re-roll the pie crusts and cut out more circles until you have 48 circles.)
  • Bake the crusts 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow cannoli cups to cool completely in the pans, about 15 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cups are cooling, prepare the filling by beating all of the filling ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Place the filling in a 1-gallon zip-top resealable bag. Seal bag. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
