2 (9-inch) round pie dough circles

1 egg (for the egg wash)

Instructions

Let the pie dough thaw for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and spray cannoli forms with non-stick cooking spray.
On a floured surface, cut out four 4½-inch circles from the pie dough using a cookie cutter.
Wrap each dough circle around a cannoli form and seal edges with an egg wash made from one egg and a teaspoon of water.
Chill the wrapped forms in the freezer for 10 minutes to help the dough hold its shape during baking.
Bake the cannoli shells for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Allow shells to cool completely, then carefully slide them off the forms.
Mix lemon curd and marshmallow fluff until smooth; gently fold in thawed whipped topping and lemon zest if using. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
Pipe the lemon marshmallow filling into the cooled cannoli shells just before serving.
Lightly dust the finished cannolis with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

Notes

Make the cannoli shells ahead and store in an airtight container to keep them crispy; fill just before serving.

Leftover filling can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Empty shells keep well at room temperature for up to 2 days.

To prevent cracking, chill wrapped dough on forms before baking.

Try variations with different fruit curds, adding cream cheese, white chocolate drizzle, or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

Reheating shells is not recommended but can be done briefly at low heat to restore crispness if needed.
