Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: a pinch of espresso powder for depth of flavor
1 cup ricotta cheese (drained)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat Your Pizzelle Maker: Plug in your pizzelle maker so it can heat up while you mix your batter. It usually takes about 5 minutes to get nice and hot.
Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Beat the Eggs & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in Wet Ingredients: Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and vanilla extract while mixing at low speed. Make sure everything is smoothly combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pizzelles!
Start Cooking: Using a tablespoon, scoop a little batter and drop it onto the center of the preheated pizzelle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 30-60 seconds, depending on how crispy you like them. Repeat until you have a lovely stack of pizzelles.
Let Them Cool: Carefully remove the pizzelles and set them on a wire rack to cool completely. They’ll become crisp as they cool!
Make the Cannoli Filling: In a clean bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Fill the Pizzelles: Once the pizzelles are cool, use a piping bag or a simple spoon to fill each one with the creamy cannoli filling, carefully topping it with another pizzelle to make a delicious sandwich.
Serve and Enjoy: Dust the filled pizzelles with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and prepare to indulge in decadence!
