Ingredients
  

For the Cannoli Shells

  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • cups sugar
  • white chocolate bars for melting

For the Strawberry Cream Filling

  • 16 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese strained to remove excess moisture
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup strawberry jam
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 packet Whip It whipped cream stabilizer optional
  • Torani White Chocolate Sauce optional
  • Pink or red sanding sugar optional

Instructions
 

For the cannoli shells

  • Beat the eggs until smooth, then add the oil and vanilla extract.
  • Add sifted flour and baking powder and sugar. Blend until combined.
  • The mixture will be thick and sticky.
  • Preheat and set the temperature dial on the pizzelle baker according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Use a teaspoon or demitasse spoon to spoon a small amount of batter into the center of each baking plate.
  • Close and latch the lid and bake for about 45 seconds until the cookies are a light golden brown.
  • Remove immediately and wrap hot, pliable cookies around a wooden dowel to form into cannoli shells.
  • Press and hold the seam of each shell onto a hard surface, like a countertop or cutting board and hold for a few seconds, until the shell cools and begins to harden.
  • Remove shells from dowel and allow to cool completely.
  • When the shells have cooled completely and are crispy, melt white chocolate in a double boiler over low heat.
  • Dip the ends of each cannoli shell into white chocolate. Transfer to wax paper to cool and harden.

For the filling

  • Combine drained ricotta cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat at medium speed with a stand mixer for 10 minutes until smooth.
  • Add strawberry jam and beat for another 2-3 minutes.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and Whip It powder. Beat the cream mixture until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold whipped cream into the ricotta mixture and stir gently to incorporate.
  • Refrigerate filling for at least an hour (or up to three days) before filling shells.
  • Right before serving, use a pastry bag or cake decorator to pipe cream into the shells.
  • Sprinkle with red or pink sanding sugar and drizzle with white chocolate sauce.
