Mini cannoli cups

All The Flavor
Without All The WorkCrispy cannolis are a classic Italian treat. No need to spend all day in the kitchen making this version. Creamy filling is cooked right into crisy wonton shells.

Cannolis are a classic Italian treat. Sadly they can take a lot of time to prepare. Between making shells and then filling the shells, you can take up a lot of time. That is why we decided to make things a whole lot easier! Using some store-bought wonton wrappers, we recreated the crispy cannoli shells, then filled them with some out-of-this-world delicious cannoli filling. You can top your cannoli cups with mini chocolate chips or sprinkles.

This is your new go-to dessert treat!
