These dessert cones are so much fun and are always a big hit. I’ve given you the recipe using mini chocolate morsels and chopped postachios, but you can easily change out these addins to anything you can imagine. I’ve noted a few of the possible changes under “NOTE:” at the bottom of the recipe.

Instructions

  1. Chop the nuts.
  2. Using a cold bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, the vanilla extract and the confectioner's sugar. Gently blend in the chopped nuts. Try not to overmix so that the mixture becomes really loose. If the mixture becomes too loose, add a bit more cheese and sugar and then refrigerate the mixture for about an hour or until it firms back up.
  3. Carefully dip the cones into the dipping chocolate and gently lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Carefully lay the baking sheet in your freezer for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  4. Pipe or divide the cheese mixture into the cones, and top with a little of the chocolate morsels and nuts and serve.
  5. NOTE: Feel free to use substitutions. Here's a few suggestions: caramel chips, sprinkles, coffee nibs; and change out the pistachios for almonds, walnuts or pecans. You can change this out to so many different mixtures. You could also try changing out the dipping chocolate to white chocolate or even a caramel dipping sauce.
