To fill 6+ vegan Cannoli Shells (Online order brand, Sanniti Cannoli Shells imported from Italy and distributed from NJ)
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups store bought vegan Ricotta Cheese such as the Kite Hill brand
1 cup Vegan Cream Cheese (Violife brand)
½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons of Confectioners Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
½ teaspoon Orange Zest
½ cup Mini vegan chocolate chips
Chopped, crushed, unsalted pistachios for dipping cannoli ends
Preparation
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, sifted confectioners’ sugar, orange zest and vanilla extract together and paddle it smooth by mixer or by hand with a large spoon or spatula.
Fold in the vegan ricotta cheese and mini vegan chocolate chips.
Fill the vegan cannoli shells using a pastry bag, starting in the middle of the shells. Dip the ends in crushed, chopped, unsalted pistachios or in shaved chocolate.
The cannoli cream filling will stay fresh a week in the refrigerator in a covered container. Fill shells just before serving so they don’t get soggy.
