1

Choose Your Cannoli Base

Start by selecting your preferred cannoli base. You can either make your own cannoli shells from scratch using flour, sugar, butter, and eggs or save time and grab a pack of store-bought cannoli shells. Whatever suits your fancy!

2

Mix It Up

Once you have your cannoli shells ready, it's time to 'fill' the blanks with unique flavors. Prepare a delicious ricotta filling using fresh ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract as a base. Now, it's time to get creative! Add chopped pistachios, mini chocolate chips, or even a splash of amaretto to the filling. Let your imagination run wild!

Roll Like a Pro

Now comes the fun part - filling the cannoli shells with your flavor-packed ricotta mixture. Take a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off and fill it with your cannoli filling. Gently pipe the filling into one end of the cannoli shell, making sure to fill it evenly from end to end. Repeat until all your cannoli shells are filled and ready to devour!

Dress to Impress

To make your unique cannoli flavors even more enticing, let's dress them up with some delectable toppings. Dip the ends of your cannoli in melted chocolate and sprinkle them with crushed pistachios or dust them with cocoa powder. Get fancy with a drizzle of caramel or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. The choice is yours!

5

Chill and Serve

Once you've finished creating your masterpiece cannoli, pop them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This will also help the filling set. When ready, serve your one-of-a-kind cannoli creations to friends and family, and watch as their taste buds do a happy dance!
