Ingredients
For The Cannoli Filling

- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1/3 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
- 3 tbsp Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Fresh Orange Zest
- 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips
For The Cups
- 12 Mini Phyllo Shells
- 1/4 cup Chopped Roasted Pistachios
- 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar
Equipment
- blender
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Arrange the phyllo shells on a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until crisp and lightly golden.
- Cool the phyllo shells completely so the filling will remain thick and the shells will stay crisp.
- Blend the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, powdered sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and cinnamon for 1 to 2 minutes, until silky.
- Fold half of the mini chocolate chips into the cottage cheese filling. Refrigerate the filling for 30 minutes to firm it slightly.
- Spoon the chilled cannoli filling generously into the cooled phyllo shells shortly before serving.
- Finish the cannoli cups with the remaining chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
