They were a special wedding treat! Now I needed the filling recipe from you. I made my shells on a pitzel iron and rolled them up. Before filling, I dipped the end in melted dark chocolate. After filling, I drizzled chocolate lines over top. Served at Ladies Church Luncheon! Thanks.

Grainy cannoli cream can result from overmixing or using ricotta that isn’t fully drained. Even when following a recipe precisely, if the ricotta has too much moisture, it can lead to a grainy texture. Make sure to drain the ricotta thoroughly before mixing, and mix the cream just until smooth to avoid overworking it.

I just use store-bought ricotta but really strain it! Here’s a tutorial: https://foodfolksandfun.net/how-to-strain-ricotta-cheese/

I do not recommend freezing the cannoli cream filling, because ricotta cheese and freshly whipped cream do not freeze and defrost well.
