cannoli


My mom came home with cannoli shells from an Italian supermarket. My family loves cannoli, but we have never tried making them at home before. With the shells already made, it was a super easy dessert to make.

Cannoli Filling

15 oz. fresh ricotta cheese
1/2 c. confectioners sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Place ricotta in a cheesecloth, and let drain for 2 hours.

Using an electric mixer, combine drained ricotta with sugar and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Place in a piping bag, and fill shells.

Note: To make these cannoli more special, dip ends of shells in chocolate before filling.
