Candy Cane Cannolis

David Venable

Take the cannoli…wherever you're headed this holiday! This easy-to-make recipe gives that classic cannoli a little holiday flair.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8-oz) ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies, divided
  • 15-20 chocolate-dipped cannoli shells
  • Green sugar to garnish (optional)

Directions

Beat together the cream cheese, ricotta, sugar, and peppermint extract in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Fold in 1/4 cup of the crushed peppermint candies.
Place the filling into a cookie press or piping bag with a plain tip. Fill each shell enough to form a nice dollop on the edge of each cannoli shell. Once filled, sprinkle a pinch of crushed peppermint candies and green sugar on the visible dollop of filling on each end of the cannoli.

Cook's Notes

Add a few drops of red or green food coloring to the filling to make these cannoli even more festive.
