OMG, this is the best dessert ever! Cannoli and pie??!! Genius! 😍
Mmmm… so good! 😋
First time I ever made a pie. It was okay but I think I messed up the crust. It’s kinda soggy.
Rich but not overly sweet. A hit at my party! But my cousin kept saying it tastes like cheesecake. Ever try a cannoli? LOL!
Perfect dessert after dinner! Will make again, it’s a keeper!
I’m glad you loved it! It really is a delicious choice for dessert. Can’t wait to try making it myself!
Made this for my mom’s birthday. She said she doesn’t like pie but ate the whole slice!👏
I don’t know, the texture was kinda off for me… I expected something different. Might try again.
I understand what you mean! The texture can be a bit different if you’re used to traditional cannoli. Maybe try it with less ricotta next time?
Honestly, what’s the point of cannoli in a pie? It’s just a wannabe cannoli. Not impressed.
I was skeptical at first but wow, this is a game changer! Super easy to make too.
First time making a dessert like this. Came out pretty good but left out the nuts since I’m allergic.
Glad to hear it turned out well! Leaving out the nuts is smart if you’re allergic. The chocolate chips must have added great flavor!
Looks good, but isn’t a cannoli pie without nuts? How does it taste without them tho?
Too sweet for my taste. I think it needs less sugar.
Didn’t follow this recipe exactly but just threw everything together and it came out okay-ish. Maybe I’m not cut out for baking.
Yum! I made this for my family gathering and it was gone in minutes! Everyone loved it. Pistachios are a genius addition.
This pie was amazing! So creamy and the chocolate chips added a perfect touch. Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad you loved it! This is my go-to dessert for every occasion! 😊
I would rather just eat the cannoli traditional way, this pie seems too lazy.
Can I use almond extract instead of vanilla? Sounds good but I wanna give it my own twist!
This pie is fantastic! Delicious and easy to make. My family loved it!
I tried this recipe too and it was a hit! The creaminess and the crunch from the pistachios made it perfect. Definitely making it again!
Delicious!! But I used whipped cream from a can and it still turned out great!
Really? I thought it would be weird with canned whipped cream. But if you say it’s good, maybe I’ll give it a try. 🤔
I’m glad it turned out great! Whipped cream from a can is a good shortcut. 😄
I don’t know if this recipe is really worth the hassle. It seems too complicated for such a simple treat.
This pie is so delicious! Perfect balance of flavors. My family loved it!
Super easy to make! But I added more chocolate chips. Can’t go wrong with extra chocolate!!
OMG yum!!! Has anyone tried it with strawberries? I think I will add those next time! 🍓
You can’t go wrong with cannoli! This pie is so easy and looks fancy!
Made this for a party and it was gone in minutes! Everyone asked for the recipe.
I didn’t understand why you gotta chill it for 3 hours? Can’t we just eat it right away??
This pie was a hit at the dinner! So rich and creamy, my family loved it!
Not sure if I trust this recipe… cannoli in a pie? What’s next, lasagna cupcakes?
I’m glad to hear that! This pie sounds delicious and perfect for family gatherings.
I forgot to add the pistachios. Is it still a cannoli pie? 😅
It didn’t taste as good as I thought. I thought it would be sweeter. My grandma’s cannoli is better.
I understand, sometimes recipes just don’t hit the sweet spot like family ones do. Maybe you could add more sugar next time?
I think cannoli is better left as it is. This pie just didn’t do it for me. Tastes a bit bland honestly.
I dunno, I thought it would be more creamy… it was kinda dry for me. Needs more cheese!
Nah, I thought it was perfect as is. Too much cheese can make it heavy, y’know? Sometimes simple is better!
I get what you mean! I also think it could use more cheese for that creamy texture. Maybe next time try adding more ricotta? It could help!
Not what I expected. The ricotta flavor was too strong for me.
I’m sorry but I agree, ricotta is too much. Why is everyone obsessed with it? 🤷♂️
I actually love the strong ricotta flavor! Maybe try using less next time or a different cheese? Just a thought.
