What is Cake Boss Cannoli Cream?
Cannoli Cream is the good and smooth thing that is inside cannoli. Cannoli are sweet things from Italy that are shaped like tubes. The cream is made with cheese that is called ricotta, sugar that is like dust, and some other things that make it yummy, like vanilla, lemon or orange peel, and sometimes chocolate. The cream is sweet, but not too much, and it has a little bit of a sour taste from the cheese. It also feels nice in your mouth, not too smooth or too rough. It is good with the cannoli shells, which are hard and light. The Cannoli Cream is the best thing about the cannoli, and many people in Italy like this sweet thing.

2. Pistachio Cannoli Cream
If you like nuts, you can put some nuts that are called pistachios and are cut into small pieces in your Cannoli Cream. The pistachios will make your Cannoli Cream green and nutty. Many people in Italy make Cannoli Cream this way.

Cannoli Cream Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups ricotta cheese whole milk, well-drained
- 1 cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips optional
- 1/4 cup candied citrus peel finely chopped (optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon optional
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Take out the extra water from the ricotta cheese. Put it in a small net over a bowl and keep it in the fridge for a few hours or a whole night. This will make the cream smooth and thick.
- Put the ricotta cheese and the powdered sugar in a big bowl. Mix them well until there are no lumps of sugar. Then add the vanilla extract and a little bit of salt. Mix again until everything is well mixed. If you want, you can also add a little bit of cinnamon powder to make it taste like a real cannoli.
- If you like, you can also add some small chocolate pieces and some sweet orange or lemon peel. They will make the cream more tasty and crunchy. Mix them gently with the cream until they are spread evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will make the cream cold and firm. When you are ready to eat, put the cream in a bag with a star-shaped nozzle. This will make it look nice when you squeeze it out.
- Fill the cannoli shells with the cream just before you eat them. You can also put some more chocolate pieces or chopped nuts on the ends of the shells. Enjoy your delicious cannoli cream!
