Cannoli is a Sicilian pastry desert that is easy to make for your family & friends. Now a days, it’s even easier because pre-made shells are readily available. I know… you could make the shells, but I am looking for a quick desert that I can pull off in under ½ hour. In order to have a dense filling, it is essential that you drain the ricotta overnight in the fridge.
A small sieve or colander works great. Once the ricotta is drained, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and gently mix with a spatula. Using the spatula, fill the shells from each end and plate.
Ingredients
1 cup ricotta (drained)
1/3 cup icing sugar
1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract

I’ve never tried a cannoli. Thank you for linking to the HomeAcre Hop. I hope to see you back this week: http://everythinghomewithcarol.com/the-self-sufficient-homeacre-hop-5/
We love cannolis! My mother in law first introduced me to them. She also puts dried fruit or maraschino cherries (just a few) in hers. We like to use a ricotta/marscarpone mixture for ours. Any way you do it though, I don’t think it could be bad.
Have you ever had cassata cake? It’s a process to make, but it is amazing! We use the same filling for that as we use for cannolis. http://wine-y-wife.com/cassata-cake-recipe/
