Italian Cannoli Pastry

Wednesday, March 31, 2021
Italian Cannoli is one of our favorite pastries ever invented and of course, everyone will tell you they make the best, just like I will tell you now, this is my mom's recipe and she made the best!


The creamy filling of mascarpone and ricotta is just an addictive confection that you just want to grab a spoon and keep eating.


Although you can buy premade cannoli shells, we always made our own, and my step-by-step instructions will certainly put to rest any doubts in your mind that there is anything hard about them; easy, but you have to have the right tools.


This tubular fried crust, then filled with this smooth, rich, delectable cheese filling inside, is incredible.


The cylinder tubes can be found online, and you can get them at a specialty shop for baking also.


The cylinders are a must-have to make these, some folks do a pizzelle maker but if I am going to only make these once a year on Easter, they're going into hot oil like the original way mom made them.


We love cannoli and I make a fabulous Cannoli Pie Cannoli Mousse, Cannoli Ice Cream, Cannoli Tarts, and of course a fabulous modern-day Cannoli Dip.


I'm not going to lie, this is a bit time-consuming but every Easter it's a tradition to make these pastries and there is no way I would want to disappoint my family, so beware, you will be starting your own tradition with these they're so delicious.
