Have you ever had a cannoli? I fell in love with this Italian treat after eating them at Mike’s Pastries in Boston. These somewhat lower calorie cones remind me of cannoli.
And the mug? It was given to us by Bert and Gezien Takens, some friends of ours from Holland. Think it means “YUMMY!” in Dutch. A perfect description for this little snack.
Canolli Cones
Directions:
Combine first four ingredients in blender and blend till smooth. Chill. Add chopped chocolate.
To serve: spoon into small sugar cone and sprinkle with more chocolate.
Variation:
The ricotta mixture makes a delicious dip with plain pita chips. Portion out chips and dip before you start because it’s hard to stop.
Makes 8 servings.

i like this idea!!! great presentation too.
I don’t think I’ve seen this recipe before. This would be fun to try. We had cannolis at Mike’s Pastries in Boston when we were there last year – they were so good!
