Cannoli Wonton Cups

I follow the blog that this recipe came from and when I saw this was posted today, I knew it was the perfect dessert to try out tonight. I am so glad I did! These little pieces of heaven were the perfect dessert. I love small, individual sized desserts because you get your sweet tooth satisfied but don't overindulge, unless you end up eating more of the bite-size pieces than you should.

These cannoli cups were extremely easy to make and they were well worth the time that you have to spend to get them ready to enjoy.

Cannoli Wonton Cups
Serves: 30 wonton cups
Adapted by: http://gimmesomeoven.com/cannoli-cups/

Ingredients
1 package wonton wrappers
1 container part skim ricotta cheese (15oz)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup mini chocolate chip morsels
powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions
-In a mixing bowl, slowly whisk together 1 cup of milk and the cornstarch. Whisk until the mixture is completely mixed and smooth. Let sit for 20 minutes.
-Transfer the milk mixture to a saucepan and add the additional 1/3 cup milk and powdered sugar. Whisk together constantly over medium low heat for 7 to 10 minutes or until the mixture is very thick and smooth. Remove saucepan from heat and add the vanilla and almond extracts.
-Let the contents of the saucepan cool for 20 minutes. This will make it room temperature.
-Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Take a mini cupcake tray or a regular cupcake tray and line each with a wonton wrapper. Press into the cupcake mold. They will resemble a cupcake liner almost.
-Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
-Once the milk mixture is at room temperature, add to a mixing bowl and add the ricotta and cinnamon. Use a hand mixer and mix all together until blended well.
-Take each wonton cup and either spoon some of the mixture into each of them or use a piping bag to fill them. Once all wonton cups are full, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar.
-Serve immediately or refrigerate

Enjoy! :)
