American Style Peanut Butter Cannoli

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well blended.

2. 2

   Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

3. 3

   While the filling chills, melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

4. 4

   Dip the ends of each cannoli shell into the melted milk chocolate, then immediately dip into the chopped roasted peanuts to coat. Place the shells on a parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate set.

5. 5

   Once the filling is chilled, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off).

6. 6

   Pipe the peanut butter ricotta filling into both ends of each cannoli shell, filling them completely.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your American Style Peanut Butter Cannoli!
