This fantastic Italian dessert is made with whipped ricotta, powder sugar and a licorice liquer. All this is put into a cannoli shell and dusted with powdered sugar. Bon Appetito!

Don’t these look great?

Or you can buy our Cannoli shells and stuff them yourself!

  1. dip the ends of your cannoli shell in melted chocolate and let harden, or mix chocolate chips into your filling for extra sweetness! when the shells are nice and crunchy, they’re the best. wait to fill the shells until you’re ready to serve.
