Besides apple pie, I was thinking of making cannoli for Thanksgiving dessert. The trouble is, I don't have the metal forms to make the cannoli shells. Yeah, I could have gone to an Italian bakery to buy them. Buying them ahead of time would mean the shells would be soggy. Cannoli need to be filled just before they are eaten. What to do?
I made Cannoli Dip. Just the filling. I found Cannoli Chips, broken bits of cannoli shell at a discount store along with pizzelle, Italian waffle cookies to use as the dip vehicle. Simple. The only thing is I forgot to buy the heavy whipping cream. I substituted half the amount of the whipping cream with Half n Half and increased the powdered sugar. The dip was a little thinner than I would have liked, but still delicious. If you make this, don't forget the heavy whipping cream.
Oh, no! I forgot to include my tea with the cannoli dip. Well, if you look in the china hutch, you can see lots of teacups.
