Lemon Meringue Pie Cannoli

June 22, 2016 This post may contain affiliate links.

Lemon Meringue Pie Cannoli

Here’s a dessert mashup that combines the taste of Lemon Meringue Pie with the look of a Cannoli. With each bite of a Lemon Meringue Pie Cannoli you’ll enjoy the crispy crunch of flaky pie crust and a pop of tart lemon flavor balanced with the sweetness of marshmallow and cream.

Lemon Meringue Pie Cannoli

It is so fun creating new twists on classic desserts and these treats combine one of my favorites with one of my husband’s favorites.

I’ll never forget the feeling I had biting into a cannoli for the first time. I was in my twenties working at an advertising agency just out of college and a coworker brought in a dessert that I had never seen before. When she told me they were made of ricotta cheese, I was very hesitant to take a bite. I couldn’t imagine how they could taste sweet.

I sat and watched my coworkers bite into the crispy shells with delight. They devoured them with such gusto that I just had to try one.

The crisp shell filled with a sweet creamy filling speckled with tiny chocolate chips was unlike anything I had ever tasted and I knew in that moment that I’d be the first in line the next time I saw a plate of these tasty treats in our break room.

Over the years I’ve made my own homemade cannoli with sweet ricotta filling and I’ve also played around with other treats and appetizers using the cannoli shells.

To make this dessert mashup, I wanted the lemon meringue pie flavors with the look of a cannoli, so I use pie dough to make the shells.

Lemon Meringue pie Cannoli are so easy to make using store bought pie dough and lemon curd. See the video tutorial and recipe at HungryHappenings.com.

Each pie crust shell is stuffed with a tart lemon meringue filling which my husband can’t get enough of. He loves lemon desserts and would be happy if I made these lemon pie cannoli and my homemade lemon fudge all the time.

So this dessert is not only a mash up of classic flavors, but it’s a mashup of our favorites.

These desserts look challenging, but are really super easy to make.

You will need to use metal cannoli forms to make them. I have a set that have been used for over 20 years. They are inexpensive and can be used to make hundreds of cannoli for years to come. You can find the forms along with lemon curd or lime curd and marshmallow fluff from amazon (commission earned for sales).

    What size round circle did you use a 2 inch or bigger. And I would like to try it with pepperidge farm puff pastry and roll it out a little.

      I cut four 4 1/2 inch circles from the pie crust. You can see how they are made in my Key Lime Pie Cannoli Video here – https://hungryhappenings.com/key-lime-pie-cannoli-summer-dessert/

    I thought I would try to use flour tortillas. If it works, I’ll let you know.

      I bet it would work well if you fry the tortillas! I can’t wait to hear how it worked for you.

      I’m planning on making these to take to a party. Do they need refrigeration and can they be made the day before?

        You can make the pie crust cannoli shells the day before and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Then, you can make the lemon filling up to 4 days ahead and keep it stored in the refrigerator. I would recommend filling the cannoli shell just before you head out to the party. You can keep them in a fridge for an hour or so and you can store leftovers in the refrigerator but the shells will be crispiest if you wait to fill them just before serving.
