👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Cannoli Cream (First!)
• Beat strained ricotta until smooth.
• Mix in powdered sugar + cinnamon.
• In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold whipped cream into ricotta mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.

2️⃣ Make the Shells
• Melt butter and set aside.
• Beat eggs + sugar until pale yellow (2–3 minutes).
• Add melted butter and vanilla; mix until combined.
• Sift 1 cup flour + baking powder, fold into wet ingredients (do not overmix).
• Add remaining flour and gently fold until just incorporated.
• Heat pizelle iron and lightly coat with non-stick spray.
• Scoop batter onto iron and cook ~90 seconds or until golden.
• Remove and immediately shape into cannoli shells.
• Cool completely on a rack.

3️⃣ Fill & Serve
• Pipe cannoli cream into shells from both ends.
• Dip ends into chocolate chips or pistachios.
• Enjoy immediately 🤍

⚠️ Pro Tip: Do not fill shells until ready to eat to keep them crispy.
