Sugar Free Low Carb Cannoli Frosting is a fabuous combination of 2 cheeses, whipping cream and sweetener so basically just 4 ingredients!
All things creamy, cool and smooth is what makes the desset world turn, especially when decorating cakes and filling luscious pastries!
This frosting is a little twist on a cannoli filling made sugar free and low carb of course.
While I haven't yet conquered making a cannoli shell sugar free and low carb I do have cake in store for tomorrows post that will blow your mind. With this frosting even you non bakers will be making this!
Best part is I took the cake and frosting to a family party with many of my Italian relatives. No word of a lie they said it tasted just like traditional cannoli cream! Score!!!
You can really use this on anything you want and in fact you could eat a small serving in a bowl and top with some fresh berries and call that dessert if you like, no cake needed lol!
Probably not so fair to just share this awesome frosting today but it needed it's own page, it is THAT good. Here's the Cannoli Mug Cake I'm placing it on!

Can I just use cream cheese instead of ricotta?

i used the suggestion to whip the cream before adding to the rest of the ingredients. this seemed to work good. i did have to do this 2-3 times to get the desired sweetness, so i do suggest this step, because it could prevent over stirring and the icing breaking down. also, i personally don't like the vanilla liq sweetener i bought, it tasted funny. so i just used the sweetener of my choice. used this icing for the tres leche cake. so yum!!! thanks for all your work. we like to try your recipes because we know they will be good!! thanks

Thanks Rhonda!

Hi, I tried to make this, but it wouldn't get smooth -- and then it just turned into butter! Help! What did I do wrong? Is there any way to rescue this?
Mindy
Mine too! I over whipped it trying to get the thicker consistency. I think next time I will whip the heavy cream and then fold into the other mixture.

My concern is about the serving size. 2g? That is a really tiny little drop of this filling. Marscapone is high is carbs, which is likely why the serving size was brought down so low. But for those tracking, this is really misleading
Brenda
It was a recipe plug in glitch. I fixed it. The serving is 2 ounces.

I dont have a stand-mixer. Will I achieve ideal consistency if i mix it myself thoroughly?
Brenda
It will be some work I think but I am sure you could still get a good consistency.
Irene
How long do you think this would keep in the fridge?
Brenda
I think at least a week.
Veronica
Hi I didn't get the thicker consistency-it's kinda watery and I need it thick to decorate my tres leches- help!!! Can I add some xantham gum to thicken it or what else? Help! Thankyou
Brenda
I would whip some heavy cream, maybe another 4 ounces then fold it into what you've made so far. You may need more sweetener.
sophie
Do you think the texture would remain the same using coconut milk instead of whipping cream?
Brenda
Honestly, no but if you can't have heavy cream please try it and let me know how it worked for you.

Tried this tonight! My first batch I overwhipped from adjusting the sweetness. The second batch, I just wasn't a fan. It didn't taste like cannoli cream to me at all. I was up to 20 drops of liquid vanilla stevia when I stopped, worried about a bitter taste. I definitely miss cannoli cake!!

Don't have vanilla liquid stevia, can I use liquid stevia and tsp of vanilla extract?
Brenda
Yes that would work
