    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!

    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.

    1. User avatar rupert.hudson74 says:

      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.

    1. User avatar clark.ondricka94 says:

      5 stars
      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!

    2. User avatar rickiestmorty says:

      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.

  13. 3 stars
    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.

      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.

  17. User avatar louisa.braun1983 says:

    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!

    1. 5 stars
      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!

  19. 4 stars
    Delicious!! But I used whipped cream from a can and it still turned out great!

    1. User avatar lakia.smitham80 says:

      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!!

  23. User avatar rich.landlord says:

    OMG yum!!! Has anyone tried it with strawberries? I think I will add those next time! 🍓

  24. 5 stars
    You can’t go wrong with cannoli! This pie is so easy and looks fancy!

  25. 5 stars
    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??

  27. 5 stars
    This pie was a hit at the dinner! So rich and creamy, my family loved it!

    1. User avatar benedict.hirthe says:

      Not sure if I trust this recipe… cannoli in a pie? What’s next, lasagna cupcakes?

    2. User avatar rodrigo.koss says:

      5 stars
      I’m glad to hear that! This pie sounds delicious and perfect for family gatherings.

  28. User avatar klara.gibson72 says:

    I forgot to add the pistachios. Is it still a cannoli pie? 😅

  29. User avatar Pasta Fasta says:

    It didn’t taste as good as I thought. I thought it would be sweeter. My grandma’s cannoli is better.

    1. User avatar derick.hyatt77 says:

      4 stars
      I understand, sometimes recipes just don’t hit the sweet spot like family ones do. Maybe you could add more sugar next time?

  30. User avatar luther.wuckert14 says:

    I think cannoli is better left as it is. This pie just didn’t do it for me. Tastes a bit bland honestly.

  31. User avatar roosevelt.rippin says:

    I dunno, I thought it would be more creamy… it was kinda dry for me. Needs more cheese!

    1. User avatar Frankie and Benjy says:

      3 stars
      Nah, I thought it was perfect as is. Too much cheese can make it heavy, y’know? Sometimes simple is better!

    2. User avatar Dwarven Centurion says:

      4 stars
      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!

  32. User avatar kimiko.mckenzie2 says:

    2 stars
    Not what I expected. The ricotta flavor was too strong for me.

    1. User avatar Waldo Batz says:

      2 stars
      I’m sorry but I agree, ricotta is too much. Why is everyone obsessed with it? 🤷‍♂️

    2. User avatar magaly.kuvalis says:

      4 stars
      I actually love the strong ricotta flavor! Maybe try using less next time or a different cheese? Just a thought.
