How to Make Easy Cannoli

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Lightly spray each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Sprinkle a scant 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over one side of each tortilla.
  5. Flip tortillas and repeat step 4.
  6. Cut each tortilla into 4 equal wedges.
  7. Carefully place each tortilla wedge, rounded edge down, into the bottom of a muffin cup, curving the sides to fit.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Let the tortilla shells cool completely in the muffin tin.
  10. While the shells bake, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes.
  11. Beat in 8 oz softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  12. Gently fold in 8 oz thawed whipped topping.
  13. Refrigerate the filling for at least 1 hour to allow it to chill thoroughly.
  14. Once the filling is chilled and the shells are completely cool, fill each shell with about 3 tablespoons of the pudding mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
  15. Melt 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bag for 1 minute, or until melted. Mix well.
  16. Snip a tiny corner off the bag and drizzle melted chocolate over the filled cannoli.
  17. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  18. Garnish the serving plate with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs before serving. Enjoy!
