Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (about 1/2 of a 15-ounce container)
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup whipping cream
- 1⁄3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 cups fresh strawberries, halved
DIRECTIONS
- For cannoli cream, in a medium bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
- In a small chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (do not over-beat.)
- By hand, gently stir the whipped cream and about half of the chocolate pieces into the ricotta mixture. (If desired, mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead; refrigerate, covered.).
- To serve, divide strawberries among 8 dessert dishes.
- Spoon cannoli cream over the berries.
- Sprinkle with remaining chocolate pieces.
