Description

Delicious Mini Cannoli Bites with a crispy shell and creamy ricotta filling, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Cannoli Shells
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cannoli Shells: If making from scratch, roll out the dough, cut into ovals, and wrap around cannoli forms. Fry until golden brown and let cool completely.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Whip until smooth.
  3. Pipe the Filling: Fill the cooled cannoli shells just before serving to retain crispness.
  4. Finishing Touches: Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy warm and fresh!

Notes

Prepping the filling a few hours ahead enhances flavor. Avoid filling the shells too early to maintain crunch.
