Chocolate Pistachio Cannoli Lasagna
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sorrento® Ricotta
- 1 pack Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- 1/3 cup Pistachios, chopped fine
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 400? F.
- Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half. Reserve one half for later use. Roll out the 3 sheets into 12x8-inch rectangles. Place on parchmentlined baking sheet. Cover with another sheet of parchment and top with another baking sheet. This will prevent the puff pastry from rising, thus creating a densely layered, sturdy, crisp pastry.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes until pastry is browned and firm, flipping pastry after 12 minutes. Remove from baking sheets to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Mix ricotta, cocoa, and sugar in small mixing bowl and combine until smooth.
- To assemble, trim edges of pastry to identical rectangles with a serrated knife. Place one sheet on baking sheet and top with 1/2 the ricotta mixture. Scatter 1/4 cup mini chips and 1/3 of the pistachios on the ricotta.
- Top with one more sheet of pastry, the other half of the ricotta, the rest of the mini chips, and 1/3 of the pistachios. Top with last sheet of pastry.
- In a small saucepan, heat cream on medium heat until it starts to boil. Add bittersweet chips and stir to melt.
- Pour chocolate mixture over top of pastry and smooth with a spatula. While chocolate is warm, sprinkle the last 1/3 of the pistachios on top. Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
