Cannoli Cream Chocolate Truffles

Cannoli Cream

Ingredients

1 bag (5.1 ounces) Cannoli Chips
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup ricotta cheese drained if necessary
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
melted chocolate slightly cooled (see notes)
1/2 cup pistachios chopped

Instructions

Place Cannoli Chips in food processor and process until coarse crumbs.
Mix together chip crumbs, powdered sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Mix in a little ricotta at a time until soft batter forms. Mix in the vanilla extract then mini chocolate chips.
Using a small scoop or spoon, scoop the dough onto a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then roll each candy in your hand to form a ball. Refrigerate about 15-20 minutes or until chilled and firm.
Remove candy from the refrigerator. Using a fork or candy dipper dip each candy in melted chocolate and place back on lined baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with chopped pistachios.
Place back in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes or until set. Store in fridge until ready to serve.
