Ingredients
  

Cannoli Shells
  • 2 rolls Refrigerated Pie Crusts Store-bought varieties save time and ensure crispy texture; avoid frozen types to prevent cracking.
  • 1 large Egg (for Egg Wash) Acts as an adhesive to seal the dough securely; combine with water for a smooth application.
Lemon Filling
  • 1 cup Lemon Curd Using homemade enhances freshness and tang.
  • 1 cup Marshmallow Creme Adds a creamy sweetness that balances the tartness.
  • 1 cup Whipped Topping Gives the filling a light, airy consistency.
  • 1 tablespoon Finely Grated Lemon Peel (optional) Use fresh zest for an extra burst of lemon flavor.
Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Confectioners’ Sugar A light dusting before serving adds a touch of sweetness.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Cannoli forms
  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • Pastry brush
  • piping bag

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare your workspace by spraying metal cannoli forms with non-stick spray.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a clean surface and use a 4½-inch cookie cutter to cut out circular dough pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and a splash of water to create an egg wash.
  4. Once wrapped, place the cannoli forms in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  5. After freezing, transfer the forms to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the baked cannoli forms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon curd and marshmallow creme, stirring until well blended.
  8. Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill the cooled cannoli shells with the lemon mixture.
  9. Dust your filled Lemon Meringue Pie Cannoli with confectioners’ sugar just before serving.

Notes

Fill the cannoli shells right before serving to maintain crispiness. Overfilling can lead to oozing; fill them to about ¾ full for the perfect balance.
