Cannoli

[SUN123]

A cannoli is a crunchy fried shell /tube with thick rich filling, an ethnic Italian pastry almost impossible to find outside the NJ/NY area. Ive looked. Its easily in my top 3 desserts (although I havent seen/ had one in ages). The shel is plain and crunchy so its all about the filling!

1 cup heavy whipping cream, optional

Look familiar??? I put the link as proof. The chocolate chips are mini and cherrys finely chopped, both more texture with then taste. So basically I can eat the SB version of cannoli filling, even in phase 1, and could every night if I wanted to as a dessert!?!

I know they have a different name for this but :joy: :happy: :joy: for SB homemade cannoli filling. I dont know why its allowed but Im not asking either. It does deserve its own thread though.
