Strawberry Ricotta Cannoli Cones Recipe

Introduction

Strawberry Cannoli Cones are a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy ricotta with fresh strawberries in a crisp waffle cone. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for summer gatherings or a quick indulgence.

Ingredients

• Waffle cones
• Ricotta cheese
• Fresh strawberries
• Sugar (to taste)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with sugar to your preferred sweetness.
2. Step 2: Carefully fill each waffle cone with the sweetened ricotta mixture.
3. Step 3: Top each filled cone generously with fresh, sliced strawberries.

Tips & Variations

• Use mascarpone or cream cheese in place of ricotta for a richer filling.
• Add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the ricotta for extra flavor.
• Try other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different fruity twist.
• Chill the cones briefly before serving to keep the filling firm and refreshing.

Storage

These cones are best enjoyed fresh due to the waffle cones softening over time. If you need to store, keep the ricotta mixture separate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and add strawberries and fill cones just before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare the cones ahead of time?

It’s best to fill the cones just before serving to keep the waffle cones crisp and prevent them from becoming soggy.

What type of ricotta is best for this recipe?

Use whole-milk ricotta for a creamy and smooth texture, as low-fat versions can be grainy and less flavorful.
