Awesome! I usually use mascarpone cheese but this sounds really good so I will definitely try this out. Thank you!! Just so you know though in the original recipe ingredient list you forgot to add the ricotta cheese there…just may want to add that so it’s not confusing. :)

thanks for sharing…I have been asked serveral time for a cannoli filled cake but have refused because I could never get the consistency right…I’m going to try your recipe and will give you feedback

Awesome recipe!!! Just made some last night :) Perfect consistency!! My other recipe was too loose this is perfect!! I added some more sugar to sweeten it a bit more though. LOVE it!!

So glad you liked it CakesbyMichelle. Made some tonight myself for a filling for a Toy Story Cake I’m working on.

Thank you SO much for sharing this information. A friend asked me to make a 12×18 cannoli filled cake and I was wondering/worrying how to make the filling thick enough. I made this recipe today and it was perfect and delicious! The only change I made was to add a little bit of cinnamon at the end. I know this entry was posted a long time ago, but I had to comment on how helpful it was. Thanks again.

So glad you liked it Luvbaking! We struggled with getting a good consistency for a while. When we finally figured it out we thought we’d share it to save others the stress. Thanks so much for letting us know.

I just found this and I’m so grateful! Using this to fill a cake next weekend. It’s a big, multi-tier cake and I’d like to do as much in advance as possible. How far ahead could I make this?

Hi. Unfortunately cannoli filling is not one that I would make too far in advance. I would say 3 days in advance is about the most I’d be comfortable with. Hope this helps you and good luck on your cake. Let us know how you like the filling and how your cake comes out.
