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.
