Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup marscarpone cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons dark rum
Zest of 1/4 orange, optional
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 ounces good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
6 premade cannoli shells (can be purchased empty at a bakery)
Directions
Special equipment:
Piping bag with wide star tip- While the orange zest offers delicious flavor, it can curdle the whipped cream slightly if left to sit. If that is a concern, then omit the orange zest.
- Mix together 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and the mascarpone cheese in a medium bowl to lighten it. Stir in the rum and orange zest, if using. Set aside.
- Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and start to whip on low, slowly adding the sugar when the cream is at soft peaks. Turn off the mixer before it reaches stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the lightened mascarpone and the chopped chocolate.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with the star tip.
- Pipe into cannoli shells and serve immediately.
Cook’s Note
Premade empty cannoli shells can be purchased at a bakery.

This was really fast and easy. And fun to make. I left out the orange zest because I didn't want anything to curdle. However, the next time I make this I will add it. The recipe made a lot more filling than was needed for 6 cannolis. This is a good thing. I am going out to get more shells today. They went fast!
