Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup marscarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- Zest of 1/4 orange, optional
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 to 3 ounces good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 6 premade cannoli shells (can be purchased empty at a bakery)
Instructions
- While the orange zest offers delicious flavor, it can curdle the whipped cream slightly if left to sit. If that is a concern, then omit the orange zest.
- Mix together 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and the mascarpone cheese in a medium bowl to lighten it. Stir in the rum and orange zest, if using. Set aside.
- Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and start to whip on low, slowly adding the sugar when the cream is at soft peaks. Turn off the mixer before it reaches stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the lightened mascarpone and the chopped chocolate.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with the star tip.
- Pipe into cannoli shells and serve immediately.
