Ingredients
  

For the Pizzelle Sandwiches

  • 12 cookies Pizzelle Cookies (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups Ricotta Cheese, well-drained Ensure to drain well to prevent sogginess.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar, sifted Sift before measuring to avoid clumps.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips, semi-sweet or dark Chopped nuts or dried fruits can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream, optional For topping before serving.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe. Ensure your ricotta cheese is well-drained.
  • If making pizzelle cookies from scratch, follow your chosen recipe instructions or package directions.

Filling Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, blend together the ricotta cheese, sifted powdered sugar, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  • Take one pizzelle cookie and spread a generous amount of the chocolate ricotta filling on the inside surface, then top with another pizzelle cookie.
  • Press down gently to spread the filling evenly towards the edges.

Optional Serving

  • Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the sandwich for extra elegance before serving.

Serving

  • Serve the Chocolate Cannoli Pizzelle Sandwiches immediately for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill briefly in the refrigerator if preferred before serving.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, separating layers with parchment paper.

Notes

Best served fresh, but unfilled pizzelle can be frozen; thaw and fill when ready to serve. Avoid overfilling to prevent messiness.
