Authentic Homemade Cannoli Recipe

What if I don’t have Marsala wine?

Substitute with dry white wine or a mix of white vinegar and water.

How do I keep the shells from getting soggy?

Fill just before serving. Store shells and filling separately if preparing in advance.

Can I use something other than ricotta?

Yes, mascarpone cheese can be used for a richer, creamier filling.

Can I freeze cannoli shells?

Yes! Freeze unfilled, fried shells in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let them come to room temperature before filling.
