Cannoli
Did you know it is very easy to make a homemade cannoli? This recipe is very simple, and can be made in a matter of minutes. You can purchase the shells in most grocery stores in the Italian food sections. For this recipe I am using mascarpone cheese. You can use ricotta, but I prefer mascarpone cheese, I like the flavor better, and it is less "weepy" than ricotta cheese.
