Ingredients

  • 17 OREO Cookies, divided
  • 12 sugar cones
  • 1 pkg. (4 oz.) white baking chocolate, melted

  • ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese (See Note.)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Putting it together

  1. 1.
    Cut each of 3 cookies into 4 wedges; finely chop 7 of the remaining cookies.  Reserve cookie wedges and chopped cookies in separate bowls for later use.
  2. 2.
    Cover baking sheet with parchment.  Coarsely chop remaining cookies.  Dip tops of sugar cones, 1 at a time, into melted chocolate, then sprinkle with coarsely chopped cookies.  Place, top sides down, on prepared baking sheet. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
  3. 3.
    Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, ricotta, sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl with mixer until blended.  Stir in reserved finely chopped cookies. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  4. 4.
    Spoon cream cheese mixture into piping bag fitted with large round tip.  Use to fill prepared cones with cream cheese mixture.  Top each with 1 of the reserved cookie wedges.

Tips and Tricks

Size-Wise:Allow yourself both the time and attention to savor the flavor of these creamy desserts.
Note:If the ricotta cheese is runny, spoon ricotta onto paper towel-covered plate.  Let stand until excess liquid is drained off before using ricotta as directed.
Make Ahead:Coat tops of sugar cones as directed.  Store in covered container at room temperature up to 3 days.  The cream cheese mixture can also be prepared ahead of time.  Just do not stir in the reserved chopped cookies.  Refrigerate cream cheese mixture up to 24 hours.  One hour before serving, stir chopped cookies into cream cheese mixture; return to refrigerator.  When ready to serve, spoon cream cheese mixture into piping bag fitted with large round tip, then fill and garnish cones as directed.
For a Fun and Easy Way to Serve:Stand filled cones in 4- to 5-inch-tall glasses filled with colorful sprinkles.
Substitute:Substitute semi-sweet baking chocolate for the white baking chocolate.
