Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pint strawberry, rinsed, hulled and halved
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 (15 ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon almond extract, to taste
12 sugar ice cream cones
miniature chocolate chip
sliced strawberry

Steps:

At least 1 day before serving, proceed through Step 3. Line a colander and a medium-size strainer with a sturdy paper towel; set each in a bowl.
Pulse strawberries and granulated sugar in food processor until coarsely chopped. Scrape into colander, top with a paper towel and refrigerate overnight to drain well (this is important). Clean processor.
Put ricotta, cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in processor; pulse until smooth. Transfer to strainer, cover with a paper towel and refrigerate overnight.
Just before serving: Prop cones upright in tall glasses partially filled with granulated sugar to support cones. Fold drained berries and 1/4 teaspoons almond extract into ricotta mixture. Spoon into a gallon-size ziptop bag. Cut 1/2 inches off a corner; pipe filling into cones and garnish.
