Cannabis-Infused Emerald Lemon Sugar Cannoli Bites

Cannoli may be rooted in Italian pastry tradition, but crisp shells filled with sweet cream are universally loved. This St. Patrick’s Day variation miniaturizes them into bite-sized treats with a lightly tinted emerald ricotta filling, rolled in lemon sugar for brightness and finished with white chocolate drizzle. The cannabis infusion is incorporated into the filling’s mascarpone base for smooth, even distribution.

A Note on Dosing

Using 1.5g of 15% THC flower:

~55mg THC total (infused into mascarpone)
