Cannoli Cupcakes

These Cannoli Cupcakes are fluffy Vanilla Cupcakes, filled with a sweet and creamy Cannoli Filling, topped with Ricotta Buttercream Frosting and decorated with a homemade mini cannoli.

Inspired by the classic Italian pastry, this isn’t just an ordinary cupcake recipe. These Cannoli Cupcakes are a labor of love and an art form.

The cannoli filling is absolutely delicious, made just from ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla beans, and vanilla. It's important to drain the ricotta through a cheesecloth before making the filling.

The frosting on top is a Ricotta Buttercream Frosting, made with butter, ricotta, powdered sugar, and vanilla. It's not overly sweet, and has a bit of tanginess and lightness from the ricotta cheese.

Top the cupcakes with mini cannoli made from scratch! But even if you don't make the cannoli from scratch, the cupcakes will still taste like cannoli in cupcake form.
