cannoli dessert

This Cannoli Tart has all the great flavors of a cannoli wrapped into one simple tart! With a touch of cinnamon and mini chocolate chips, it's got all the things I love most about cannolis.

Cannoli Tart

graham cracker crumbs

tbsp sugar

tbsp butter, melted

heavy whipping cream

sugar, divided

oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature

tsp vanilla extract

cinnamon

mini chocolate chips, for topping

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9 inch tart pan.

2. Combine ingredients for crust and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

3. Bake crust for 7 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

4. To make the whipped cream, whip heavy whipping cream on high speed for 2-3 minutes. Cream will initially bubble a little bit, then start to thicken.

5. As the cream starts to thicken, add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.

6. Whip on high until stiff peaks form, for a total whipping time of about 5-7 minutes.

7. Set whipped cream aside and combine mascarpone cheese, remaining powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Mix on slow speed until combined. Do not over mix.

8. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

9. Spread filling into the tart crust and refrigerate until firm, 3-4 hours.

I needed an Italian dessert to accompany my freshly made pasta dinner.  This was the perfect ending.  My husband enjoys chocolate sauce drizzled on his cannolis so whipped up some while my pie was chilling.  That drizzle of chocolate sauce took this perfect dessert over the top.

A sweet and simple cake (using boxed mix) that pays homage to a classic Italian treat.

Once baked, poke holes all over cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, mascarpone, and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and again, mix until combined.
