Holy Moly Cannoli Cones
These might actually be the cutest food items in the entire book. But let’s put adorableness aside for a moment . . . they TASTE AWESOME!!! Try serving these at parties and your events will immediately become 37 percent more enjoyable.
Ingredients
(Makes 6 Servings)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free ricotta cheese
2/3 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
2? tablespoons Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1 tablespoon sugar-free fat-free vanilla instant pudding mix
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
6 sugar cones (like the kind by Keebler)
Directions
Place all ingredients except chocolate chips and sugar cones in a medium bowl.
Using a handheld electric mixer set to high speed, mix until fully combined and
fluffy. Fold in half of the chocolate chips.
Transfer mixture to a large plastic bag, squeezing it down toward one bottom corner of
the bag. Snip that corner off with scissors, so that you have a makeshift piping bag.
Gently squeeze the ricotta mixture into the cones, evenly distributing it among them.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top of the filling in each cone.
