Prepare a Vanilla Tulipe batter (I use a 4-egg amount). Draw the circles according to the size of cannoli you want to serve. After shaping them, allow to cool completely.

Two luscious fillings:

Cinnamon-Mascarpone: 1-lb. imported mascarpone, creamed gradually with 3½ ounces granulated sugar. Add 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp grated nutmeg, and minced zest of 1 lemon or orange, mixing until just incorporated.

Chocolate: Melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate; cool slightly. Cream 1-lb. mascarpone with 3½ granulated sugar. Pour in melted chocolate and stir to combine.

Assembly: Spoon mixtures into separate piping bags, fitted with a star or ½-inch plain nozzle. Gently pipe filling into both ends of the cannoli, so that it meets at the center. Dust the cannoli with powdered sugar.

Thanks for the suggestions


I'll be making them this weekend to desert a lasagna. This may be a perfect accompaniment when I make lasagna. The fresh ricotta comes in minimum of four pound containers...so I gotta do something with the left-overs


thanks,

Well, I made the cannoli's. They tasted fairly decent, but the consistency was much too thin after I got the ricotta mixed smooth.

well, try try again
