PER SERVING (1 cannoli cone): 134 calories, 1.75g fat, 184mg sodium, 21g carbs, 0g fiber, 10.5g sugars, 6g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

You will FLIP OUT when you try our creamy, creative take on chocolate chip cannolis!!!

Ingredients:
6 sugar cones (like the kind by Keebler)
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. fat-free ricotta cheese (or one of the alternatives below)
2/3 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
2 1/2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
2 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 tbsp. sugar-free fat-free vanilla instant pudding mix
1 tbsp. powdered sugar

Directions:
Place all ingredients except the cones and chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on high until mixture is fully combined and fluffy. Fold in half of the chocolate chips.

Carefully transfer mixture to a large plastic bag, squeezing it down toward one bottom corner of the bag. Snip that corner off with scissors, so that you have a makeshift piping bag.

Gently squeeze the ricotta mixture into the cones, evenly distributing it among them.

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top of the filling in each cone.

Eat and enjoy!

MAKES 6 SERVINGS

HG Alternatives! If you can't find fat-free ricotta, go for low-fat or light -- then each Cannoli Cone would have 145 calories, 4g fat, and a POINTS® value of 3*. If you can't track down low-fat or light, use part-skim ricotta -- each Cannoli Cone would then have 163 calories, 6g fat, and a POINTS® value of 4*. Cannoli Cones for EVERYONE!

    I don't know. I'm still thinking on it. Trust me, these things have been stuck in my brain since I saw the pic. :laugh:

    OK, I think you could maybe use a fat free ice cream... it would give it a completely different texture, I'm sure and you'd probably need to store them in the freezer. True cannolis use ricotta cheese and I like them so maybe I just need to try it! It's just the thought of riccota cheese that creeps me out. Kind of like sour cream in my casserole that one time... it was DELICIOUS but once they told me it was in there, I got a sick feeling in my tummy! Yes, I'm a freak. :)

    I made these and my kids absolutely loved them. The only problem I had is that they must be eaten the same day. I couldn't find a way to store them so they don't become soggy.

    A great thing to replace the ricotta is Italian cream cheese ( Mascarpone) :smile:
