For a great traditional (Tube) Cannoli
You will want to shape dough circles around dowel sticks, and air fry the shells. For the Amaretto Custard cream, you will want an additional 1 Tbsp Flour, and 1 Tbsp Corn starch so the filling holds more firmly in the tube-shape Cannoli shell.
Non-Alcoholic version: If you want a more Holy Cannoli(no alcohol), leave out the Amaretto, and add 1/4 tsp, Almond extract instead. They’re delicious
