Hmmm...... I'm a huge love of cannoli. I'm Italian and we used to get them every Sunday after Mass at the Italian bakery. But I'll tell you- there are so many variations to them and most of them I don't like at all. I'm always disappointed when I order one.
When we go home to NY we always go to that bakery and get some. They are fabulous.
Wish I could help but I've never made them.
