Cannoli, originating from Sicily, are beloved for their crispy shells and sweet, creamy filling. This recipe for Mini Cannoli Cups simplifies the traditional cannoli into a bite-sized, no-fuss dessert perfect for parties or a fun family treat. By using mini cupcake pans and pre-made wonton wrappers, these mini delights offer the iconic cannoli flavors with minimal effort.
Mini Cannoli Cups are perfect on their own, but they can also be served alongside a variety of other small desserts like mini tiramisu or espresso shots for an Italian-themed dessert platter. For a fresher take, pair them with a light fruit salad that includes grapes, strawberries, and a sprinkle of chopped mint to balance the sweetness.*
