I was just in Boston and Bri and I had a lovely evening in the north end complete with good Italian food, lots of wine, and cannoli from Mike's Pastry.
Mike's has amazing cannoli! Since being there, I've wanted to try my hand at making some of my own. I figured that cannoli would be the perfect treat for Godfather night! However, I just didn't have time to make the shells and go through all the hassel associated with that. So, I decided to use sugar cones! I know it's not authentic, but it's easy and it's going to be perfect for our dinner party!
Easy Cannoli (adapted from Serious Eats)
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk ricotta, drained
8 oz. marscapone cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla or Grand Mariner
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
mini chocolate chips
ice cream cones
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together except for the chocolate chips and ice cream cones.
2. Fill the cones with the filling and top with the mini chocolate chips

Deleteok, as a bred italian AND a former resident of boston (back bay, not north end ;-) ) i'd NEVER thought of putting connoli in sugar cones! what a great idea.
ReplyDeletei think my readers would LOVE this-- would you share it over at my new link party? http://www.happyhomeblog.com/weekend-warrior/weekend-warrior-2/
Thank you! I visited the back bay too! I loved Boston!
DeleteWill you hate me if I tell you I've never seen Godfather? Will you feel better if I tell you how much I LOVE this easy cannoli? It's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI just saw it for the first time! Great movie! And thank you!
Deletewhat a great idea. They look delish, and so easy. love that!

This is such a wonderful idea! I must say, the ice cream cone looks better with cannoli cream than ice cream. I found your site through the Foodie Friday. Please do visit soon! Blessings, Catherine

DeleteThis is a great idea for a kids or adults Jodie! i'm featuring it as my host pick of the week for Foodie Friends Friday next week at Cindy's Recipes and Writings !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cindy!
DeleteThis is so funny because until this summer I had never seen the Godfather movies either all the way through. I've seen bits and pieces. My daughter loves them and we watched them together and I have to agree, they are really good! Well, not #3, but we won't go there. These canolis look fabulous! I'm going to try them! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday. I hope you came back and voted today!
ReplyDeleteI did vote! I love foodie friends friday! I hope you enjoy the cannoli!
