Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Crumb Base
-
Mix 1 cup Biscoff crumbs with melted butter until sandy.

Press into cannoli shells (about 1 tsp per shell) using a spoon handle. Chill.
2. Make the Filling

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Gently fold in whipped cream until no streaks remain.
-
Stir in remaining ½ cup Biscoff crumbs (leave some texture).
3. Fill the Cannoli
-
Transfer filling to a piping bag (or zip-top bag with corner snipped).
-
Pipe into shells from both ends, overfilling slightly.
4. Add the Finishing Touches
-
Roll ends in extra Biscoff crumbs (or dip in melted chocolate).
-
Chill 2+ hours (or freeze 30 mins for faster setting).
5. Serve & Enjoy!
-
Dust with powdered sugar or extra crumbs.
-
Pro tip: Add filling just before serving for ultra-crisp shells.
Expert Tips
🔹 Room-temp cream cheese prevents lumps.
🔹 Stabilized whipped cream (add 1 tbsp powdered sugar while whipping) holds shape better.
🔹 No piping bag? Use a plastic bag with the corner cut off.
🔹 For homemade shells: Brush wonton wrappers with egg wash, wrap around cannoli tubes, and fry until golden.
Variations
Chocolate-Biscoff: Add cocoa powder to filling or drizzle with chocolate.
Espresso Kick: Mix 1 tsp instant coffee into the filling.
Berry Swirl: Fold in raspberry jam for a fruity twist.
Storage
-
Fridge: Up to 3 days (store unfilled shells separately for maximum crispness).
-
Freeze: Filled cannoli freeze well for 1 month (thaw 10 mins before serving).
Serving Suggestions
-
Pair with espresso or vanilla gelato.
-
Arrange on a platter with fresh berries for color.
