Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (room temp)
- 2 Lbs Whole Milk Ricotta, Drained overnight
- 1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 Pkg Milk Chocolate Chip Mini Morsels
- 2 bars White Chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 2 cups Powder Sugar (less a handful)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Method
- Drain Ricotta overnight for best results
- Whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Needs to be pretty stiff.
- Add vanilla when cream starts to get stiff and beat together. Set aside.
- Whip ricotta and room temperature cream cheese together and add 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Add powdered sugar and whip together. Taste for sweetness ~ Needs to be a little too sweet because the whipped cream will dilute it.
- Gently fold whipped cream, ricotta mix and chocolate chips together. Keep refrigerated.
- When serving, use a butter knife or a pastry tube to fill shells. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
