Description
- Make easy lemon cannoli shells with marshmallow filling for a refreshing, light dessert perfect for spring gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cannoli Shells:
- 2 (9-inch) round pie dough circles
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)
- For the Filling:
- ¾ cup lemon curd
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)
- For Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Allow the pie dough to thaw for about 10 minutes. Lightly spray 8 metal cannoli forms with non-stick cooking spray.
- Creating the Shells:
- On a floured surface, unroll the pie dough and cut out four 4 ½-inch circles from each dough round. Whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash. Wrap the dough circles around the cannoli forms, sealing the edges with the egg wash. Freeze the wrapped forms for 10 minutes. Then, bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until the shells turn golden brown. Let the shells cool completely before removing them from the forms.
- Filling Preparation:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon curd and marshmallow fluff. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping and lemon zest (if using). Refrigerate the filling until ready to assemble the cannoli.
- Assembly:
- Once the cannoli shells have cooled, pipe the lemon filling into each shell. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
- Details: These homemade cannoli shells are filled with a creamy, sweet lemon filling, combining the tang of lemon curd with the fluffiness of marshmallow topping. Perfect for spring gatherings or as a refreshing dessert.
