Mini Cannoli Bites

(2 count) box refrigerated pie crusts

brown sugar

cinnamon sugar

(15 ounce) container full-fat ricotta cheese

mascarpone cheese

sugar,

vanilla extract

mini chocolate chips

toppings: mini chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, candied fruit, or orange zest

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Make the pastry cups: Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the pastry. Use a rolling pin to gently press the sugar into the surface.

Use a 2-3 inch cookie cutter to cut out pastry rounds. Press them gently into an ungreased mini muffin tin. Reroll any leftovers and repeat (you should get 40-48 cups).

Lightly spray the tops with oil and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the pie crusts are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely before filling.

Make the filling: Drain the ricotta in cheesecloth to remove excess water. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk with the mascarpone until smooth.

Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and the vanilla and whisk again until smooth. Taste and add more sugar if needed. If the filling seems too loose, refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to firm up.

Fold the mini chocolate chips into the filling, then carefully spoon or pipe it into the cooled pastry cups.

Dust the tops with powdered sugar and sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, candied cherries, or orange zest, if desired.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. If refrigerating, add the powdered sugar dusting just before serving. Enjoy!
