- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, cinnamon, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until frothy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each one into a thin oval shape on the baking sheet.
- Bake the oval shapes for 10-12 minutes or until they are firm but not browned.
- Once baked, allow the shells to cool for a few minutes before carefully rolling them into cannoli shapes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and chocolate chips; mix until smooth.
- Fill each cooled cannoli shell with the ricotta mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
- Dust with additional powdered erythritol before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to let the shells cool completely before filling them to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the ricotta filling according to your taste.
