Mini Cannoli Pies Recipe
Want an easy, no-bake treat to serve with afternoon tea? I’ve got you covered with these mini cannoli pies. While baking cannoli shells can be time-consuming, not to mention needing special tools, these pies are just as delicious and much easier to make.

This recipe makes 12 mini pies, plenty to share. And they’re a great addition to an afternoon tea party. Serve them up with a nice black tea and enjoy!

    Drain ricotta in a strainer over a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. Discard the liquid that drains out.
