Homemade Cannoli Cupcakes Recipe
Think about it – and this is really a no-brainer – what’s the best part of a cannoli? The creamy center, of course! As much as I enjoy the crunch of the shell, the sugary, white, chocolate chip speckled center is the real star of the show. That same beloved cannoli cream is what fills each of these cupcakes and what inspired the frosting on these homemade delights. Like I mentioned earlier, I love the crunch of a cannoli shell, but that creamy filling in the middle of a soft, fluffy cupcake is just as delicious as the real deal. Talk about a perfect bite!
How to Make Cannoli Cupcakes
Preheat the oven and prepare a muffin tin. In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the cupcakes. In another, the wet ingredients. Combine the mixtures. Divide the batter into the prepared tins, then bake. Let them cool on a wire rack once baked. Make the filling by combining all of the ingredients. Make the frosting by first beating the butter and mascarpone until creamy. Then, add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Transfer to a piping bag. Assemble the cupcakes by first scooping out a small hole in the centers. Fill the holes with cannoli filling. Pipe the frosting. Enjoy!
