Have you ever had a cannoli? I fell in love with this Italian treat after eating them at Mike’s Pastries in Boston. These somewhat lower calorie cones remind me of cannoli.
And the mug? It was given to us by Bert and Gezien Takens, some friends of ours from Holland. Think it means “YUMMY!” in Dutch. A perfect description for this little snack.
Canolli Cones
Directions:
Combine first four ingredients in blender and blend till smooth. Chill. Add chopped chocolate.
To serve: spoon into small sugar cone and sprinkle with more chocolate.
Variation:
The ricotta mixture makes a delicious dip with plain pita chips. Portion out chips and dip before you start because it’s hard to stop.
Makes 8 servings.

i like this idea!!! great presentation too.
I don’t think I’ve seen this recipe before. This would be fun to try. We had cannolis at Mike’s Pastries in Boston when we were there last year – they were so good!
Skinny comment: When I see a cake piled high with butter cream frosting I say this word to myself (LARD). If I am somewhere where it is served I usually scrape most of the frosting off. I really like instant pudding folded into fat free topping for frosting. You have to keep it in the frig but to me it is more yummy than the rich frosting. You can put coconut in it or sprinkle chocolate pcs or nuts on top. Try it – it’s great.
Awesome Idea! Will makes these for a dessert party we are having at work.
well article for food
Hi there – I’ve only just discovered your beautiful blog and I love it!
I’m from Holland and I’m afraid the the text on the mug isn’t Dutch
“moi” does mean “me” in French though.
I really apreciate your ideas about balancing out treats with a salads and about not letting people use you as a bin for left overs.
I’m looking forward to following your posts!
Hm-m-m. Really? Oh well. These cups are very special to me even if I don’t know what they really mean. Thanks for writing. Appreciate your kind words.
Aparantly “moi” does mean “good morning” in regional dialect.
Which is a pretty nice thing to write on a mug
