Cannoli Tart
Yield: 9 inch tart

Ingredients

Crust
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbsp sugar
5 Tbsp butter, melted

Cannoli Filling
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar, divided
12 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9 inch tart pan.
2. Combine ingredients for crust and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
3. Bake crust for 7 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
4. To make the whipped cream, whip heavy whipping cream on high speed for 2-3 minutes. Cream will initially bubble a little bit, then start to thicken.
5. As the cream starts to thicken, add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
6. Whip on high until stiff peaks form, for a total whipping time of about 5-7 minutes.
7. Set whipped cream aside and combine mascarpone cheese, remaining powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Mix on slow speed until combined. Do not over mix.
8. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
9. Spread filling into the tart crust and refrigerate until firm, 3-4 hours.
