Tips:

  • To make the filling, it's important to use ricotta cheese that has been drained overnight. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • When mixing the filling, be sure to do it gently so that you don't overmix it. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
  • If you don't have any cannoli shells, you can use wonton wrappers or even spring roll wrappers. Just be sure to fry them until they are crispy.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, use a good quality chocolate that has a high cocoa content. This will give the ganache a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Be sure to let the cannoli pie bites cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the chocolate ganache to harden.

Conclusion:

Cannoli pie bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a creamy ricotta filling, crispy cannoli shells, and a rich chocolate ganache. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cannoli pie bites a try!
