Exquisite Citrus Bliss Lemon Meringue Cannolis

Ingredients:

Cannoli Shells:

• 12 pre-made cannoli shells

Lemon Meringue Filling:

• 1 cup lemon curd
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Meringue Topping:

• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing the filling. In a bowl, combine the lemon curd and softened cream cheese until smooth and well incorporated.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it reaches stiff peaks, ensuring a light and airy texture.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the lemon curd mixture until fully combined, creating a luscious lemon meringue filling.
4. Using a piping bag, generously fill each cannoli shell with the lemon meringue mixture, ensuring each one is evenly filled to the brim.
5. Now, let’s create the meringue topping. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, resulting in a glossy meringue.
6. Carefully pipe the meringue on top of each filled cannoli, creating a beautiful and fluffy crown of sweetness.
7. For an added touch of decadence, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the meringue, creating a tantalizing caramelized finish.

Indulge in these divine citrus bliss lemon meringue cannolis, perfect for treating yourself or impressing guests with their heavenly flavors and elegant presentation.
