cannoli cream
Sweet tube stuffing
Cannoli cream is the sweet ricotta-based filling used in cannoli, the Italian pastry.
It typically combines ricotta cheese with powdered sugar, sometimes enriched with mascarpone, chocolate chips, or citrus zest.
The term also appears in desserts beyond traditional cannoli: cannoli cream dip, cannoli cream cake.
The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped into the crisp shells.
