Ingredients
  • 36 California medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 cups Whole milk ricotta, strained
  • 1/4 cup Confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly grated orange zest, plus more for garnishing
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Mini chocolate chips or grated dark chocolate, plus additional for garnishing
  • 2-3 Waffle cones, broken up into small pieces (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Slice dates lengthwise on one side, taking care not to slice all the way through. Using fingers, gently open dates so that the cavity is accessible. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, add ricotta, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, zest, and salt. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until mixture is smooth, creamy, and no longer grainy-looking. Fold in mini chocolate chips or shavings.

  3. 3

    Transfer ricotta mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (if opening is too small the chocolate pieces will get stuck) and pipe mixture to fill date cavities (or use a small spoon to spoon mixture into cavities). Sprinkle additional chocolate and orange zest on top. Optional: place a few waffle cone pieces in each “cannoli.”

  4. 4

    Place dates on a serving platter. Enjoy!
