Recipe Tips
- Note
Like traditional cannoli, these are best served when the wafers are still crisp. If making these tasty treats more than 6 hours before serving, prepare the ricotta filling as directed then refrigerate until ready to spread onto the wafers an hour or so before serving. - Substitute
Substitute 3/4 cup multi-colored or chocolate sprinkles, or chopped pistachios for the mini chocolate chips used for dipping. - Size Wise
Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
