How to Make Cannoli (Cannoli Filling Recipe)

How to Make Cannoli (Cannoli Filling Recipe)

Learn how to make cannoli with this easy and delicious recipe. This classic Italian dessert features crispy cannoli shells + creamy cannoli filling + crunchy mini chocolate chips. Perfect for Christmas or special occasions. I skip frying the shells and fussing with a cannoli mold and use store-bought cannoli shells for ease.

There are few Italian desserts I love and respect more than cannoli (ok, and tiramisu). Crunchy, creamy, and chocolatey, they’re the perfect dessert. Especially after a heavy meal like lasagna or baked ziti.

But as a busy mom of two… I just don’t have the time to make homemade crispy cannoli shells as often as I’d like. Between making the dough, finding the cannoli mold, and deep frying, it’s a lot of work.

Which is why I created this cheater’s cannoli. Which features the most delicious homemade cannoli filling… and calls for store-bought cannoli shells.
I usually order my shells from our local Italian bakery. So technically they’re homemade! Just not made in my home *wink wink. If you plan ahead you should be able to easily find delicious shells wherever you live. 

Ingredients:
  • 8 cannoli shells, homemade or store bought will work
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Optional
  • 2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
