Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cannoli will be.
  • Make sure the ricotta cheese is well-drained. If it is too wet, the cannoli filling will be runny.
  • Chill the ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese before making the filling. This will help the filling to be firm and smooth.
  • Don't overfill the cannoli shells. If you do, the filling will ooze out and the cannoli will be messy to eat.
  • Dip the ends of the cannoli shells in chocolate before serving. This will add a touch of sweetness and richness.
