Ingredients

  • 16 wonton wrappers
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries
  • 1 tablespoon cherry brandy
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 3 tablespoons anise liqueur
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped shelled pistachios

Directions

  1. Wrap a wonton wrapper around a metal cannoli tube. Moisten corner with water and seal. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers. Spritz with cooking spray; sprinkle with sugar.
  2. Bake at 325° for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove shells from tubes; cool on a wire rack.
  3. Meanwhile, place cherries in a small bowl. Add brandy; let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and coarsely chop cherries. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, cocoa, liqueur and chopped cherries until blended.
  4. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip shell ends in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Press into pistachios. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.
  5. Pipe filling into prepared shells. Serve immediately.
