For the Cannoli Filling: (Recipe Link HERE)
Fill 2 disposable pastry bags or plastic zipper bags with the Cannoli cream and the whipped cream.
Once cupcakes are cooled, hollow out the center with a knife or an apple corer and fill each cupcake with cannoli cream. Scrape the top so it's flush with the cupcake. Top with cocoa whipped cream and decorate with chocolate chips.
