Crisp cannoli shells filled with a creamy pumpkin and ricotta mixture flavored with warm pumpkin pie spice. A festive Italian-inspired dessert with a cozy autumn twist.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 12 large cannoli shells
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Stir the confectioners’ sugar, pumpkin, ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Beat the heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin and cheese mixture until evenly combined.
  4. Transfer the pumpkin filling to a pastry bag and pipe it into both ends of each cannoli shell.
  5. Sprinkle or press semisweet chocolate chips onto the exposed filling at the ends of the cannoli.
  6. Serve promptly so the cannoli shells remain crisp.

Notes

  • For the crispest texture, fill the cannoli shells shortly before serving.
  • The pumpkin filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated until ready to assemble.
  • Use plain canned pumpkin rather than sweetened pumpkin pie filling.
