Ingredients

  • 9 tablespoons part skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup lite whipped topping (Cool Whip or Tru-Whip)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated orange zest (I used 1 drop orange essential oil instead)
  • 1/2 ounce dark chocolate, finely chopped (I used orange infused dark chocolate)
  • 4 3- to 4-inch pizzelle cookies

Instructions

  • Line a mesh strainer with a paper coffee filter or piece of cheesecloth and place it over a small bowl. Add the ricotta. Cover with plastic wrap and top with a heavy can. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to drain excess liquid. Discard the liquid.
  • To make the filling, in a small bowl, combine the drained ricotta, whipped topping, confectioners sugar, vanilla and orange zest until blended. Gently stir in the finely chopped chocolate and set aside.
  • To make the shells, microwave the pizzelle cookies, one at a time, on a paper plate for 20-30 seconds. Immediately remove warm cookie and wrap it around a utensil handle (such as a wooden spoon) to form a shell (or carefully shape shells with your hands). Let cool.
  • Spoon or pipe 2 tablespoons of the ricotta filling into each cookie shell and serve immediately so they don’t get soggy.

Recipe Notes

Note: The cannoli filling can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.Serving size: 1 Pizzelle Cookie CannoliWeight Watchers PointsPlus: *4Weight Watchers Freestyle SmartPoints: *4
