📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a mixing bowl, using a rubber or silicone spatula, blend together ricotta and mascarpone cheese while running and pressing mixture along bottom of bowl to remove any lumps. Fold in powdered sugar. Cover and chill ⏱️ 30 minutes (or until ready to use).
Powdered sugar (, for dusting)powdered sugar1 cup
2
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and cinnamon, set aside.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, sugar and salt and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to melt butter and dissolve sugar.
4
Reduce heat to low, add flour mixture all at once and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture forms ball, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to the bowl of an electric stand mixer and let cool, ⏱️ 3 minutes.
5
Using the paddle attachment, and with mixer set on low speed, beat eggs into dough one at a time (dough will separate after each egg is added, then it will slowly come together and become smooth).
eggs (, about 4 whole large eggs and 2 egg whites)1 cup
6
Transfer mixture to a large piping bag fitted with a round tip. Immediately pipe onto rounds, approximately 1 1/4-inches each, and spacing them 2-inches apart.
7
Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 and continue to cook ⏱️ 10 minutes longer, then turn oven off and allow to rest in warm oven ⏱️ 10 minute longer, or until they sound hollow when tapped.
8
Remove from oven and pierce with a small knife to release steam. Cool completely on a wire rack then cut each in half.
9
Pipe or spoon in cannoli cream filling. Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped pistachios around edges of cream filling (I preferred mine with both). Dust with powdered sugar and for best results serve within ⏱️ 1 hour of filling.
