Number Of Ingredients 13

FILLING:
1 package (4 ounces) cannoli shells
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

Pulse cannoli shells in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Add sugar, cracker crumbs and melted butter; pulse just until combined. Press onto bottom and sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Beat first four filling ingredients until blended. Beat in ricotta cheese and extracts. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread into crust. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 4 hours. If you don't have mini chocolate chips, you can coarsely chop regular chocolate chips.
