Lemon Meringue Pie Cannolis Recipe


  • Author: Clara
  • Total Time: 35min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 (9-inch) pie dough circles

  • 1 egg + 1 tsp water (for egg wash)

  • ¾ cup lemon curd

  • ½ cup marshmallow fluff

  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest (optional)

  • 1 tsp powdered sugar (for dusting)


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat oven and prep dough
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pie dough circles and cut them into 4-inch strips or ovals wide enough to wrap around cannoli molds.

Step 2: Wrap dough and brush with egg wash
Lightly grease metal cannoli molds. Wrap dough strips around each mold, overlapping slightly. Seal the edges with a dab of water. Mix the egg with 1 tsp of water and brush the outsides of the dough for a golden finish.

Step 3: Bake the cannoli shells
Place wrapped molds seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before gently removing the shells from the molds. Cool completely.

Step 4: Make the lemon meringue filling
In a bowl, combine the lemon curd, marshmallow fluff, and whipped topping. Fold gently until smooth. Stir in lemon zest for an extra citrus boost if desired.

Step 5: Fill the cannolis
Transfer the lemon meringue filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Pipe the filling into both ends of each cooled cannoli shell.

Step 6: Garnish and serve
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon zest or a small dollop of fluff on the ends. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Let baked shells cool completely before filling to avoid melting the whipped topping

  • Use store-bought lemon curd for convenience or homemade for more control over tartness

  • Cannoli molds are reusable and help maintain shape—alternatively, wrap dough around foil-wrapped tubes

  • Marshmallow fluff makes the filling light and airy, balancing the tangy lemon

  • Don’t overfill the shells—they’ll be easier to serve and less likely to soften too quickly
