Really good! I did make them with cannoli shells. I added an extra 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder to these, I think I could have done even more!

Had bought some cannoli shells and was glad to find this recipe. Made just half of it and it was super good. I have had cannolis with ricotta filling before, but never with the chocolate flavor. Very easy dessert. Thanks for another winner, Barb.
