Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of puff pastry or cannoli shells (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- ½ cup of mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Fresh berries or candied fruits for garnish (optional)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for decoration
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Ensure the pastry shells are crisp and at room temperature. If homemade, bake until golden and crispy.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the cream filling.
- Pipe the filling into each pastry shell carefully to avoid breaking them.
- Decorate with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, fresh berries, or candied fruits as desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, filling the shells just before serving for maximum crispiness.
Notes
- Use pre-made cannoli shells for convenience or make your own from puff pastry for a more authentic experience.
- Fill the shells just before serving to keep them crispy.
- Chill the filling for at least 1 hour for enhanced flavor and texture.
