While taking the first bite of Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli, you’ll think you’ve almost bitten into a piece of pumpkin cheesecake. You are certain to taste cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in every heavenly bite.
This recipe is similar to my White Chocolate Cranberry Cannoli recipe (https://noplatelikehome.com/white-chocolate-cranberry-cannolis/), which is perfect for Christmas, except for a few differences. Both recipes are great to serve at parties because they can be made ahead and into single servings if you use mini cannoli shells.

Assembly:

After you’ve removed the bag from the freezer, cut a one-inch tip in one of the bottom corners to make a pastry-like bag.

How to Make Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli
This recipe is as easy as mixing the ingredients, putting the cannoli filling into a pastry bag and filling store bought cannoli shells. It’s so easy!
I put heavy cream into my mixer and whipped it for about three minutes. Then I added, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, canned pumpkin, spices and white chocolate chips. I put the cannoli filling in a one quart plastic bag with a zipper and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes so it would be easier to handle.
Then, I cut one of the corners of the plastic bag and piped the cheese filling into each side of the cannoli shells. Last, I added some white chocolate chips to the sides.
This recipe is so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you are buying them at the store. Baking from scratch doesn’t always have to be time-consuming.

I am first generation Italian and good food and wine are in my blood. Most of my recipes use extra virgin olive oil because it is healthier and gives a lot of great flavor like my One Pot Jambalaya with Shrimp and Andouille Sausage https://noplatelikehome.com/one-pot-jambalaya-with-shrimp-and-andouille-sausage/. I like to share my creations to help other busy moms provide homemade, great tasting, healthier meals to their families while saving money. Almost all of my recipes do not contain boxed mixes. There’s no way to get a tasty soup like One Pot Ham, Potato, Bean Soup from a can!
Why eat high fat, high sodium and poor quality take out when you can make better food at home and for less money? After all, there is “no plate like home!”
