Ingredients
  

Custard

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 loaf sliced brioche bread
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Cannoli Filling

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, ricotta, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
  • In a second bowl, add all the ingredients for the cannoli filling. Mix until smooth and creamy!
  • Take one slice of bread and spread 2 tablespoons of the cannoli mixture. Place another slice of brioche on top. Cut into four pieces. Arrange facing up in a buttered baking dish. Repeat until all of the bread has been used.
  • Pour custard over the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight! This will help the custard really soak into the bread.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove cover from the baking dish. Top with mini chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until it is golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar!
