Tiramisu Flavored Cannoli
Tiramisu is one of the world's most famous Italian desserts – now it appears in a new guise, in the form of cannoli. This flavor evokes the classic tiramisu tastes: coffee, mascarpone, cocoa, but packaged in a crunchy pastry shell. As the espresso-soaked sponge cake and mascarpone cream blend with the silkiness of the ricotta, every bite offers the classic taste experience – in a new texture, a new presentation. It's important to use good quality espresso and mascarpone. The sponge cake crumbs should not be too soggy, but rather slightly moist to retain their texture in the cream. This tiramisu cannoli is the perfect accompaniment to an elegant dinner finale, a special breakfast or a conversation over coffee – a classic taste, yet in a new form.

Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Tip: Make sure the mascarpone is at room temperature for easier mixing.
2
Add the cocoa powder and the coffee-soaked sponge cake crumbs, then gently fold to combine. Tip: Don't overmix, you want the crumbs to remain slightly textured and not dissolve completely.
3
Transfer the cream to a piping bag and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Tip: This will make it easier to pipe and will result in a thicker, more stable filling.
4
Fill the cannoli shells with the tiramisu cream from both ends. Tip: Fill just before serving to keep the shells crispy.
5
Dust with powdered sugar, then lightly sprinkle with cocoa powder. Tip: Use a tea strainer for a beautiful, even dusting.
6
Serve on a rustic plate with a shot of espresso or a foamy cappuccino. Tip: Garnish with coffee beans or a sprinkle of sponge cake crumbs on the plate.
