- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Line a muffin tin with liners and cooking spray.
- Prepare cake mix according to its directions.
- Fill liners about ¾ of the way up with the cupcake batter.

- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Cut a ½ inch (1.5cm) hole on the tip of a pastry or zip top bag and fill with the cannoli cream.
- Cut a circle in the center of each cupcake and press the center down into the bottom, creating a hole.
- Fill the cupcake with cannoli cream and use a spiraling motion to create a swirl of the cream on top of the cupcake.
- Put the cupcakes in the freezer for about 1 hour or until firm.
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together.
- Carefully, dip the tops of the cupcakes into the melted chocolate.
- Place in the refrigerator to firm up if need be.
