1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray 8 cannoli forms with non-stick baking spray.
2

Unroll pie dough and cut four 4 1/2 inch circles from each crust. Make an egg wash by whisking the egg and water together. Wrap one pie dough circle around each cannoli form sealing the edges with egg wash. Set on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
3

Remove and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then carefully remove them from the cannoli forms. Let them cool completely.
4

Stir together lemon curd and marshmallow fluff. Stir in the whipped topping. Pour into a disposable pastry or zip top bag.
5

Just before serving, snip the tip off the pastry bag and pipe the pie filling into the pie crust cannoli shells.
6

If desired, sprinkle lemon zest onto pie filling at ends of cannoli.

More About This Recipe

If you love the flavor of lemon meringue pie, but not the fuss of making one or slicing one, then these little treats are perfect for you. With each bite 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. Bring these individually sized desserts to a party and everyone can just grab one. No one is stuck slicing a pie and cleaning up the mess. You'll need 8 metal cannoli forms for this recipe. If you don't have any, you can find them for a few bucks at a kitchen supply or home goods store. You'll also need a 4 1/2 inch round cookie cutter. Don't, have the cutter? Just find a bowl that's close to that size, set it upside down on the dough, and cut out around it. Once the pie crust cannoli shells are baked and have cooled, you can pipe in the lemon meringue pie filling. Sprinkle on some lemon zest if you want to punch up the flavor and add a bit of color contrast to the pale yellow filling. Enjoy!
