• For added flavor, you can also add a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the filling.

Storage and Serving

• Cheat's Cannoli is best served immediately after filling to maintain the crispness of the shells.
• If you need to store them, keep the filled cannoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Before serving, let the cannoli come to room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
