Italian Cannoli is one of our favorite pastries ever invented and of course, everyone will tell you they make the best, just like I will tell you now, this is my mom's recipe and she made the best!
The creamy filling of mascarpone and ricotta is just an addicting confection you just want to grab a spoon and keep eating.
Although you can buy premade cannoli shells, we always made our own and my step-by-step instructions will certainly take any doubts in your mind that there is anything hard about them, easy but you have to have the right tools.
This tubular fried crust then filled with this smooth rich delectable cheese filling inside is incredible.
The cylinder tubes can be found online, you can get them at a specialty shop for baking also.
The cylinders are a must-have to make these, some folks do a pizzelle maker but if I am going to only make these once a year on Easter, they're going into hot oil like the original way mom made them.
We love cannoli and I make a fabulous Cannoli Pie Cannoli Mousse, Cannoli Ice Cream, Cannoli Tarts, and of course a fabulous modern-day Cannoli Dip.
I'm not going to lie, this is a bit time-consuming but every Easter it's a tradition to make these pastries and there is no way I would want to disappoint my family, so beware, you will be starting your own tradition with these they're so delicious.

This dessert has so many names we call it Pistachio Ambrosia, it's also referred to as Watergate salad, Pistachio Delight or Shut the Gate salad, Green Goop, Green Goddess salad, Green Fluff, or Green Stuff.
There are also several stories of how this salad got its name from Kraft saying a food editor wrote about this but was never substantiated or found for sure.
Regardless the recipe was started somewhere in the midwest in the 1970s.
I love taking this to picnics and pot lucks and many times have just used vanilla instant pudding instead of pistachio for those who may have nut allergies and tinted it green or the theme of the party.
This popular whipped topping, fruit, and pudding dessert is always a big hit and of course, the kids go crazy over the mini marshmallows, (and the young at heart).
This basic recipe is great for baby /gender reveal parties since you can tint it to the color of plain vanilla pudding which makes a fun theme.
I make this more often in the summer months, I even tell the kids at a picnic it's a nonmelting delicious ice cream the little ones just love this but they don't like coconut so I leave it out.
