Description

Mini cannoli cups are a fun, bite-sized twist on the classic Italian dessert. They’re perfect for parties or gatherings, offering the same creamy filling and crunch of a traditional cannoli, but in an easy-to-serve cup.

Scale

1 package mini phyllo cups (about 15 cups)

1 cup ricotta cheese (drained overnight)

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Chopped pistachios (optional)


Instructions

1. Mix ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.

2. Fold in chocolate chips for a light crunch.

3. Fill mini phyllo cups with the mixture using a piping bag.

4. Top with chopped pistachios or chocolate chips.

5. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

6. Serve immediately for best crispness.

Notes
