For some reason, as I typed that title, I started singing it to the tune of Copacabana a la Barry Manilow.
"Mocha, Mocha Cannooooooo-liiiii"
And here's the kicker...they look fancy enough for a dinner party, but because we're using pre-made shells, they're easily whipped up for a weeknight dinner.
To my Italian friends, no...these are not traditional, BUT the filling is made with ricotta, not cream cheese. Also, there's a good bit of orange zest in there for brightness and as a nod to the dried fruit in the traditional filling.
That chocolate shell is NO JOKE. The cannoli shells are coated inside AND outside. Oh yeah.
I'm sharing the recipe and all of the details over on The Pioneer Woman Food & Friends.
Now, back to the singing...
"Her name was Mocha, she was a cannolo...
...with ruffled filling in her shell and chocolate crunchies out to there..."
Be still my heart! These are GORGEOUS and sure to make my eyes roll to the back of my head if I ate one! Mama mia!
