I am cannoli’s number one fan. Been toying whether to get the molds for them to make at home. Not sure if it’s a bad idea or not!!

I can tell that you loooooved this challenge, since the cannoli look MARVELOUS!

These look beautiful! The only problem with cannoli for me is that they are sooo addictive.

Love those chocolate cannoli!! And you are right about the store bought vs fresh, homemade is always better!!

How delicious! It looks so yummy! I never ate cannoli’s basically because store bought stuff usually give you the wrong taste (well not all the time, but usually it does :D) and I never thought of making it myself! But seeing this, I will definitely give it a shot ^_^! Ciao!

Oh my gosh, those are AWESOME. I have some tubes, but have never made these. Now I have to! These are BEAUTIFUL!

Gorgeous! Love the pistachio ends. Great job on the challenge!

I also liked this challenge a lot - mainly because I’m a huge Soprano and The Godfather fan Your cannoli looks delicious and I’m sure they were! Cheers

Agree!! i ain’t a big fan of the store cannoli either! making them at home is so much better and super easy too…
gorgeous cannoli photos!

MMM I love cannoli! I usually buy my shells from an Italian bakery and make my own filling.. but I’m feeling inspired. The shells look amazing.

Gorgeous! Love how the dough puffed up…yum!

Your cannoli are so pretty and the Napoleon looks terrific! Great job!

Cheers,

Beautiful cannoli here. I like the stack too. Very pretty all dressed in green and brown and white.

I loved the flavor of this dough.

I just love the pistachio’s they’re my favourite nut…perhaps I should’ve toyed with that idea instead of walnuts!

I agree this recipe was great. I couldn’t believe how light and crisp the cannoli came out. I think yours are beautiful! I did some dipped in chocolate and pistachios too.

This was my first time making cannoli too! And I agree that it was such a great recipe…so easy it makes me wonder why I didn’t try making them before.

And what would your favourite Italian desserts be then? I’m not a fan of sweet desserts too much but I’d like to try my hand at some. BTW after reading about Cooking Italy on your blog, I enrolled. My own blog is probably coming out only in January (would you believe, I have a programmer working on the Wordpress, that’s how strapped for time I am, not sure that’s the spirit though) but I’ll be waxing Italian and web pretty soon Tx for the suggestion.

Wow! What a delicious-looking adventure!

I’m so glad you enjoyed these! Your cannoli are stunning =D. I love the photos!

Yes these are totally different shells than what we find in the commercial bakeries. Deeper in flavor.Beautiful job.

oH, THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL. Wish mine had come out as well. Love the bittersweet and pistachios.

This challenge if the reason I joined this group. Such fun! Homemade cannoli shells…awesome! No comparison!

Your Cannoli looks amazing! I really like the green that the pistachios add!

They are perfect PERFECT I tell you and those blisters and wart on the shells are goregous. Well done and the filling sounds so delicious. Cheers from Audax in Australia.

Great job on your cannoli! They look so delicious!

First off Ivonne, thank you so much for the hosting gig this month, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Secondly, thank you SO much for your encouragement, help and patience, especially when it came to those dang conversions. I’m looking at new scales now in another window! Thirdly, your cannoli turned out beautiful..straight out of a magazine, and I’m so thrilled you liked it, especially considering you are the queen of Italian cooking..baking..ingesting..digesting…and all that mangia/molto bene stuff. *hugggs*

Your cannoli look beautiful.. I love them dipped in the pistachios!

The cannoli’s look perfect!!

These look so yummy! You make them look so easy to make, but I can see a potential disaster in my kitchen with these.

I am cannoli’s number 1 fan. Adore them. Sometimes make my own shells - but I have found all my recipes are too dry and never get them thin enough (love the pasta machine idea!). Will try this recipe. Your look gorgeous!

Those look fabulous!

They are beautiful Ivonne! I loved the challenge…though I was 2 days late! I love fried food I’ve never had a cannoli before…I guess I shouldn’t even try the store bought ones huh?!

O my goodness, those look amazing Ivonne! I am so disappointed with myself for missing this challenge! And looking at your lovely results I so still want to make them! (but I keep saying that and well…. I need more hours in a day!)

They look fantastic wiht the nuts on the edges. I laughed when I read about how you had to resist taking them off the forms when hot - I didn’t and burnt my fingers a couple of times - d’uh.

Thanks again for the Daring Baker’s, it’s sucha great group.

Yours are gorgeous! Perfect shells (brilliant idea using the pasta machine) and they look so pretty and delicious! Great challenge and yours are truly fab!

Oh just lovely! This is one challenge I wish I could have done but I just didnt have the time. Hurting my back didnt help either…
