Description
These chocolate pizzelles feature a rich cocoa batter and a creamy cannoli-style filling, offering a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling
- Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Preheat your pizzelle maker. Drop about a tablespoon of batter into each mold and cook until deep golden-brown, about 30 seconds to 1½ minutes.
- Let the pizzelles cool on a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, beat the ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread a thin layer of filling on one pizzelle, top with another, and gently press to make a sandwich.
- Serve immediately or chill briefly to set.
