Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Place the unsweetened chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt over a saucepan of simmering water.
Whisk in sugar substitute and thin with the hot water and heavy cream.
Whisk to blend thoroughly.
Remove from heat, spread on a plate, and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Cut into small chunks after chilling.
While the chocolate is chilling, make the cannoli cream. With an electric mixer on high, whip heavy cream just until frothy, and then add sugar substitute and almond and vanilla extracts. Continue to whip on high until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break.
Gently fold in the ricotta cheese and almost all of the chilled chocolate chunks, saving a few chips for garnish. Spoon cannoli cream into parfait glasses, top with remaining chocolate chips, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Parfait works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The Moet & Chandon White Star () with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
Moet & Chandon White Star ()
White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
