How to make homemade Italian cannoli?

In order to make this wonderful dessert you need a cannoli shell and a cannoli filling.

You can find recipe for homemade cannoli shells on my blog. They are the crispiest and the most delicate cannoli shells with lots of airy bubbles. I would recommend to make the shells in advance. Just to save to stress of making everything in one day.

My recipe for the cannoli filling is fluffy and light. I basically mixed ricotta cheese and vanilla extract first to loosen it up. Then I have added sugar and finely chopped orange peel. Then I have added cream and mix until combined. I piped my filling inside cannoli shell and added chocolate chips and chopped pistachios. Sprinkling extra powder sugar is optional but I like the white dusty look.

Tips to make the best homemade Italian cannoli.

  1. Make you r cannoli shells in advance.
  2. Fill the shells just before you want to serve cannoli to your guests to avoid soggy shells.
  3. Use homemade candied orange peel if you can. If you are using candied orange peel from the shop, please taste it before adding to the filling. Personally I have not found candied orange peel in any shop that does not taste disgusting, this is why I make my own.
  4. Cannoli tastes the best when it is fresh, this is why I only fill as many cannoli as I need in a given moment.

  6. Serve right away.

  7. IMPORTANT! Cannoli taste the best on the same they are made, if you leave filled cannoli for longer than a day the shells will become soggy.
