Ingredients

  • 2 cones, you can use chocolate (Oreo) cones too. Sometimes hard to find but nice mixing them up
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, I used part skim for this recipe, whole ricotta works great though
  • 6 tbsp Cool Whip or TruWhip, I used Cool Whip Lite for this recipe
  • 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips plus 2 more to dip the cones in
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 servings (half box) Jell-O vanilla pudding mix (powder) I used sugar free for this recipe, regular works great too

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/8 tsp orange extract, this is optional and sometimes I do add this instead of the vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp orange zest, optional
  • 2 tbsp  chopped pecans, optional
  • 2 tbsp mini cinnamon chips, optional
  • 2 tbsp diced dried fruit, raisins and apricots are a good choice if using

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients (except for the 2 remaining tablespoons mini chocolate chips to dip cones into) together until smooth. You can use a hand mixer, wire whisk or just a fork and then rubber spatula. This depends on how silky and smooth you like the pastry filling. Divide filling into each sugar cone. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Take out and dip each cone into the remaining mini chocolate chips and put back in fridge for another 30 minutes. Enjoy!
