Canolli cream bites

2 Cups Ricotta Cheese
¾ Cup Granulated Sugar
1 T Vanilla Extract
Crisp style cookies.
Ground Cinnamon to taste
Chocolate Shavings
Mix together the ricotta cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth with an electric mixer. Put a small dollop of the cream on each cookie and dust with cinnamon and finish with shaved chocolate. You can also serve the cream in a bowl and the cookies and let people dip the cookies into the Cannoli cream just like a dip.
I used Pepperidge Farms Brussels cookies for this. They are very thin and crisp, almost like a true cannoli shell.
