This recipe is very similar to my Easy Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Cannoli No-Bake Recipe. The cannoli filling is very similar.
Ricotta Cannoli are a popular Italian dessert and it’s variation- Cannoli Dip is becoming popular as well.
However, this recipe is good if you don’t like ricotta cheese, don’t have it on hand or don’t have the time to wait for the ricotta cheese to drain, which takes hours.
