Mini Cannoli Cups
May 03, 2025 03:49 PM
Everything you love about silky and sweet cannoli, but in a fun, easy to make bite-sized form! Made simply with pie crust (store-bought to be even easier), these cannoli bites are easy to customize to your tastes, and always a crowd-pleaser!
I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge sucker for cannoli, and anything remotely close to those flavors!
They’re not particularly difficult to make, but any time I can get very similar flavors and textures, with a fraction of the work, I’m all in.
I’ve made these mini cannoli cups before for a family event, but I used the phyllo cups from the frozen foods department.
And those were delicious, but the cups were a bit too delicate. So I improvised with pie crust as the cup, and it tasted just as delicious, and held up better.
Plus, you can use store-bought pie crust to save time!
