Mama Mia! These super easy cannoli look almost too good to eat ... almost!

Ingredients

10 cannoli shells

FILLING

400g fresh ricotta cheese

½ cup thickened cream

1/3 cup icing sugar, plus extra for dusting

100g roasted hazelnut chocolate, finely chopped

Method

To make filling, place ricotta, cream and icing sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in chocolate.
Transfer filling into a piping bag fitted with a 2cm plain nozzle.
Pipe filling into cannoli shells. Just before serving, lightly dust with sifted extra icing sugar.

TIP We used a box of Crostoli King Cannoli (10-shells) available from continental delicatessens, major fruit and vegetable stores and some supermarkets. Disposable piping bags are available from supermarkets. Filling can be prepared and piped into cannoli shells up to 2 hours before serving.
