I posted about my homemade cannoli shells recently, and someone asked to see the final result when the cannoli were done. Here they are, all filled and decorated! However, a confession – the time and energy I dedicated to making the shells for the first time left me with little leftover for the filling. So, I did not make my own cream as I had planned, but bought it from the local Italian grocery. 100% homemade is my goal for next year.

They look lovely.
If you can get your hands on it, try ricotta next time. 2 parts ricotta/ 1 part sugar and mix until smooth (no heat)!
P.S. what’s the green stuff?
This is good! And yummy I am sure
I remember that post, your result is amazing.
They look just perfect.
I was able to make them too thanks to my aunt
here my result with homemade ricotta (homemade ricotta is so good that even adding 1/3 of the sugar seems like a waste… next time I’ll add even less, it’s delicious even without sugar… from 4L of whey + 0,5L milk I got only 260g of ricotta… really good but next time I’ll buy it XD):
