Categories     Other Desserts

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 box phyllo pastry cups
2 1/4 c whole milk ricotta cheese
2 1/4 c mascapone cheese
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c mini chocolate chips
pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine all ingredients except phyllo cups and chocolate chips until creamy. Pipe or spoon filling into cups. Top with mini chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • To make the cannoli shells, you'll need a special cannoli form. These forms can be purchased online or at most kitchen stores.
  • When frying the cannoli shells, make sure to use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when frying the shells. This will cause the oil to cool down and the shells will not cook evenly.
  • Once the shells are fried, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • To make the cannoli filling, you can use any type of ricotta cheese you like. However, whole milk ricotta cheese will give you the richest and creamiest filling.
  • Make sure to drain the ricotta cheese well before using it in the filling. This will help to prevent the filling from being too watery.
  • You can flavor the cannoli filling with any number of ingredients, such as sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips, or nuts.
  • To assemble the cannolis, simply pipe the filling into the shells. You can use a star tip for a decorative look.
  • Cannoli cups are best served fresh, but they can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cannoli cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy shell and a creamy filling, these little pastries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cannoli cups a try!
