Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Cannoli Cream Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the sugar cones in a food processor and combine with melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
  2. Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Reserve 2 cups for later. In another bowl, combine mascarpone and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in ricotta, vanilla, orange zest, and cinnamon.
  3. Gently fold in the reserved whipped cream until just combined to maintain a fluffy texture.
  4. Spread the creamy filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Whip remaining cream with a bit more powdered sugar, and pipe around the edge of the pie.
  5. Top with mini chocolate chips and chopped pistachios for added texture and flavor.
  6. Refrigerate the assembled pie for about 4 hours before serving to allow it to set.
