  • Pour the heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.

Tips & Notes

  • This is a basic cannoli filling. It can be adjusted in many ways. Add 1 tablespoon of orange zest, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, or swap the vanilla extract for peppermint or almond extract. Crushed pistachios are a great garnish option.
  • This is a great dip to make on the fly or to make a day ahead of time.
  • We like freezing the ice cream in a loaf pan. It has the perfect dimensions for scooping!
