Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 4 oz Mascarpone Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Erythritol
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Zest of Small Orange
  • 3 tbsp Sugar-Free Mini Chocolate Chips, divided
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Pistachios

Equipment

  • fine mesh sieve
  • hand mixer

Method
 

  1. Place ricotta cheese in a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl. Let it drain for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then discard the liquid.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the drained ricotta and mascarpone together with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and orange zest. Beat until light and fluffy, about 1 more minute.
  4. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of the sugar-free mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
  5. Spoon the cannoli cream into 4 small serving cups or glasses. Top each with the remaining chocolate chips and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
