Cannoli, Cannoli, Cannoli, I want a Cannoli. That is what I say
every time we go to an Italian restaurant! A Cannoli has always been what I
craved for dessert. The light flaky shell and creamy filling are so satisfying
after a meal like eggplant parm, lasagna or ravioli! What I love about the
Cannoli is it is not heavy or overly sweet. The blending of cheeses is so
smooth in the filling and sweetened just so. All I needed for additions is a
couple mini chocolate chips on the end or pistachios.
Yum
Yum
So oh yeah, I better get to why these are Cannoli cup desserts and
not the whole Cannoli. I had never made them so in my mind, I thought those
suckers would hard to pipe the filling in....but guess what? It was super easy
so after I made the Cannoli Cups, I had leftover shells so the whole enchilada
Cannoli got made too and I impressed myself, lol.
MINI CANNOLI CUPS
INGREDIENTS
Cannoli Shells
1 (8 oz) tub of Mascarpone Cheese
1 (12-15 oz) tub of whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
For topping: Mini Chocolate chips and crushed pistachios
DIRECTIONS
Crush 3 Cannoli shells in a Ziploc quart bag with a meat mallet or
hammer. Place some pieces in the bottom of mini dessert cups. In a mixing bowl,
mix the 2 cheeses for about 2 minutes until very smooth, add powdered sugar and
mix for another minute. Pipe or spoon mixture on top of shells. Top with
desired topping like mini chocolate chips and crushed pistachios. Add the
remaining Cannoli shells pieces to the top. Chill for at least 30 minutes
before serving.
HAPPY TASTY TUESDAY FRIENDS!!

More yummies for us! I like the idea of smaller desserts. The little dishes are adorable. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh my- these look delicious! It's been forever since I've had a cannoli.
ReplyDeleteI've never made cannoli either because I thought the piping would be hard too! And getting the shells made. I didn't know you could buy them pre-done! So much easier!
ReplyDeleteThis looks soooo good. I love cannolis but never made them. This is doable. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI freakin' LOOOOVE cannolis! haha
ReplyDeleteI make a dip for parties and it's always a big hit! (basically the filling in a bowl and then all your fun dippers like broken shells, graham crackers, fruit around it.....)
