Cannoli Stuffed Dates

Seasonal: Suitable throughout the year

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice dates lengthwise on one side, taking care not to slice all the way through. Using fingers, gently open dates so that the cavity is accessible. Set aside.

  1. In a medium bowl, add ricotta, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, zest, and salt. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until mixture is smooth, creamy, and no longer grainy-looking. Fold in mini chocolate chips or shavings.

  1. Transfer ricotta mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (if opening is too small the chocolate pieces will get stuck) and pipe mixture to fill date cavities (or use a small spoon to spoon mixture into cavities). Sprinkle additional chocolate and orange zest on top. Optional: place a few waffle cone pieces in each “cannoli.”

  1. Place dates on a serving platter. Enjoy!
