Ingredients

These Cannoli pancakes are so good and the perfect breakfast treat! They are a chocolate chip, ricotta pancake with cannoli filling on top. Full recipe below!

Pancake:

1 1/2 cup milk

4 eggs

2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

16 oz. Whole milk ricotta, strained

2 cup flour

1/3 cup powder sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 mini chocolate chips

Cannoli Filling:

8 oz. ricotta cheese, strained

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mini chocolate chips, as desired

Optional chocolate drizzle

Directions

In a large measuring cup combine milk, eggs, vanilla extract and strained whole milk ricotta. Whisk together.

For my ricotta I wrap it in a paper towel, 20 minutes prior and pat it down till the moisture comes out.

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour wet into dry and combine.

Pour in chocolate chips.

Before making the pancakes I make my cannoli filling and put it in the fridge.

Strain your ricotta as you did prior for your pancake mix, and beat in powder sugar and vanilla. Fold in chocolate chips till combined. Place in piping bag or container in fridge till ready.

Grease pan and cook pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side. I use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop my pancake mix into pan. Stack, pipe cannoli filling on top and optional chocolate drizzle!
