Strawberries With Cannoli Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup ricotta cheese (about 1/2 of a 15-ounce container)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/2 cup whipping cream
    1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
    6 cups fresh strawberries, halved
Preparation
    For cannoli cream, in a medium bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
    In a small chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (do not over-beat.)
    By hand, gently stir the whipped cream and about half of the chocolate pieces into the ricotta mixture. (If desired, mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead; refrigerate, covered.).
    To serve, divide strawberries among 8 dessert dishes.
    Spoon cannoli cream over the berries.
    Sprinkle with remaining chocolate pieces.
