Cannoli Napoleons

Something special to do with pizzelles! When making pizzelles my recipe will make around 10 dozen, so I will save a dozen and make this special dessert which is always a big hit.

1 15 OZ CONTAINER RICOTTA – whole milk¼ CUP MASCARPONE CHEESE

2/3 CUP POWDERED SUGAR
1 ½ TSPS GRATED ORANGE ZEST1 TSP VANILLA
1/3 CUP CHOCOLATE – semisweetWHIPPED CREAM – semi sweet
6 TBS CHOPPED TOASTED PISTACHIOS – optional12 PIZELLES
  

SIX SERVINGS

Combine ricotta, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest and vanilla in a large bowl.  Mix until well combined.  Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes but if you want to plan ahead this mixture can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

For each napoleon, place 1 pizzelle on a dessert plate. Spread ¼ cup of ricotta mixture over pizzelle.  Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon chocolate. Repeat layers. Top with dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream.  Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios, if using, or even with a few mini-chocolate chips.
