Ingredients:
(Makes 6)
1/4 package of Fillo dough
Pam Butter Spray
1/2 cup of heavy cream
2 tbs sugar
1/2 cup ricotta
1 tsp fresh grated orange zest
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs sugar
About 2 tbs mini chocolate morsels
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly grease a muffin pan.
2. Unroll the Fillo dough (keep it stacked) and cut off a quarter of it. Cut it in half. Stack the two squares of Fillo sheets together. Using the butter spray, spray in between every 2-3 sheets. Grab 5-6 sheets at a time and carefully press them into the muffin cups, forming a cup out of the dough sheets. Bake the cups for about 8 minutes, until golden brown. Make sure to cool the cups completely before filling with cannoli cream.
3. While the cups are baking, make the cannoli cream. Beat the heavy cream and 2 tbs of sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer, until soft peaks appear. In a separate bowl, beat ricotta, sugar, vanilla and orange zest for a couple of minutes. Slowly, fold the ricotta mixture into the whipped heavy cream until all incorporated.
4. Scoop the cannoli cream into the cooled cups and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.

| I really liked this new character! |
I love the idea of using Fillo dough for easy Cannoli’s. So much easier than making and frying the tubes
Awww…what a fun family night! Those cannoli cups look soooo yummy! My kiddos are dying to see Ice Age 4…I guess I need to go pick it up.
These are really looking wonderful. Easy to make and even more easy to eat them all
Cannoli…Mmmm….. Those look fantastic.
I’d love if you shared this at my Show & Tell party this week. http://www.gingerlymade.com/2012/12/show-tell-6.html
Mmmm. I love cannoli anything!
These look amazing! Pinning to try soon! Merry Christmas!
Looks yummy! I’d love you to come link up at my Pin Me Linky Party.
Thanks!
What a great, easy alternative to making true cannoli! I just have one question…where was MY invite for family night?
my husband loves cannoli’s — what a great & easy idea to have some at home without buying them!
yum! those look amazing!
Easy Cannoli….whooo-hooo! This I gotta try in the New Year. Thank you.
Lyuba, I’d love to try that cannoli. Last time I tried to bake phyllo cups I charred them and made the entire house smell like ashes for days. Here’s hoping I can keep a better eye on them this time. Thanks for sharing!
I pinned this
oh my gosh i’m drooling over your entire meal! I definitely will be trying your cannoli cups yum
I love family dinnertime with a movie! And, you’ve done it again. Your Cannoli Cups will be featured at Make it Pretty Monday at The Dedicated House. Hope to see you at the bash! Have a Happy New Year. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
How early before an event can you make these? Would you make them and then put them in the fridge?
Hi Breann! I made these about 3 hours before dinner and kept them in the fridge. You can also make the cream in the morning and keep in the fridge covered and make the cups closer to the event to keep them crispy.
