Crisp baked shells filled with creamy lemon curd, marshmallow fluff, and whipped topping. A bright twist on classic cannoli that’s quick, refreshing, and perfect for holidays or parties.


Ingredients

2 (9-inch) round pie dough circles

1 egg

1 teaspoon water

¾ cup lemon curd

1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)

2. Preheat oven to 425°F and prepare 8 cannoli forms with non-stick spray.

3. Unroll dough and cut eight 4½-inch circles using a cookie cutter.

4. Make egg wash by whisking egg and water together.

5. Wrap dough circles around forms, sealing edges with egg wash.

6. Freeze for 10 minutes, then bake 10–12 minutes until golden.

7. Cool shells before removing from forms.

8. Mix lemon curd and marshmallow fluff, fold in whipped topping and zest.

9. Refrigerate filling in a pastry bag until ready.
