Soft, creamy, and packed with delicious cannoli flavor, this Cannoli Poke Cake is the perfect sweet treat for any dessert lover 🍰

Ingredients

For the Cake Base
15.25 ounces white cake mix, we used Pillsbury brand (432g)
1 ¼ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 egg whites
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, divided ¾ cup for drizzling and ½ cup for frosting (we used Great Value brand) (396g)

For the Frosting
1 ½ cups Ricotta cheese, we used Great Value brand
1 ½ cups Mascarpone cheese, we used BelGioioso brand
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips, we used Nestle Toll House brand

Method

Preheat the oven according to the cake mix package directions. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.

Drizzle ¾ cup of the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, almond extract, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and the remaining ½ cup sweetened condensed milk until creamy and smooth.

Fold in half of the mini chocolate chips.

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Coconut Cream Pie
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
4 egg yolks
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
1 (12 oz) can water
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter
1 3/4 cups coconut
Place everything except the coconut into a microwave-safe mixing bowl (like a batter bowl). Microwave for 4 minutes, then remove and whisk well. Stir in the coconut.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook another 3–4 minutes. Take it out and stir again until smooth. If the filling is thick enough, divide and pour it into two baked pie crusts.
Prepare a meringue and spread it over the pies. Sprinkle a small handful of coconut on top.
Bake in a 375°F oven until the meringue is lightly browned.
Tip: I used to brown my meringue under the broiler, but it only browned the top and didn’t fully cook it. Baking it instead helps cook the meringue from the bottom so you don’t end up with runny egg whites on the pie.
