Ingredients




1 (32 oz.) container Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup creme de cocoa
Shredded sweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
1 cup sifted flour
4 eggs
Confectioners' sugar

Preparation

1 On day before, beat Ricotta until very smooth and creamy. Add sugar and continue to beat until smooth. Add vanilla and creme de cocoa. Fold in chocolate and nuts. Chill overnight. 2 For Cream Puffs: Bring water and butter to a boil. Dump flour in all at once. Stir until dough leaves side of pan; cook stirring until it forms a smooth ball. Remove to bowl and add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Drop by heaping teaspoons on greased cookie sheet, allowing space in between. 3 Bake at 450 degree oven for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 375 degrees and bake 20-30 minutes longer. Cool, slit and fill with heaping tablespoons of filling. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.
