No disrespect to the author and I’m sorry to her for writing this…. but this was awful. I pick recipes based on the stars and I followed it to a T. It is no where worth filling cannoli shells with this filling. I loved the tip on when to fill the shells though and will take that with me for life!! I’m sorry for the bad review but I picked this recipe out of many based on The star rating and it was very inaccurate. Your picture is gorgeous and I’m sorry for the negative review. It was baby food though. And yes I followed it exactly. I reread it over and over assuming I made a mistake. I just don’t want others to pick this especially the night before Thanksgiving! Good luck and thank you for putting the recipe out there. Sorry again though giving the review it was truly awful.
