Filling
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup ricotta cheese, drained
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Assembly
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, drained ricotta cheese, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth, creamy filling.
- Fill the shells: Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully fill each cannoli shell with the pumpkin-ricotta mixture, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed and the shells remain intact.
- Serve immediately: Place the filled cannoli on a serving platter and serve right away to maintain the crispiness of the shells.
Notes
- For best results, drain ricotta thoroughly to avoid a watery filling.
- Optionally, dust filled cannoli with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness and presentation.
- Store any leftover filling separately in the refrigerator; fill shells just before serving to keep them crisp.
- You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for added autumn flavor.
