- 8.8 oz ricotta
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 grated orange zest

Steps
To prepare the quick cannoli, start by putting the ricotta and powdered sugar in a bowl, work with a spoon to get a cream.
Now add the grated zest of an orange, mix, and then add the chocolate chips, mix again. Set aside the ricotta cream.
Take the rectangular puff pastry roll, unroll it, cut it in half with a vertical cut, and then with a horizontal cut obtain 4 large pieces of the same size.
Now with a knife make horizontal cuts along the vertical cut on the puff pastry roll you made to divide the pastry.
Fill the center of each piece with the ricotta cream and close the cannolo starting from the uncut part of the pastry rolling it with the striped part that will go on top. Do the same with the other puff pastry roll.
Repeat the same for all the cannoli, then brush them with milk, sprinkle sugar on top, and bake at 374°F for about 15-20 minutes.
Once the quick ricotta cannoli are cooked, let them cool, preferably on a rack so they remain nice and flaky, then cover them with powdered sugar before serving.
