Be the star of any party or get-together with these amazingly easy and delicious Mini Cannoli Cups! A real crowd-pleaser!
Wowza – we have been through a ton of sweets in the Love Bakes Good Cakes house! If you think that’s changing today, you would be wrong …. Due to all of the dessert recipes I have made for the past two months, I am thinking I need to get with the “healthy” (or at least healthier) program in January. Yeah, January. That’s it. Seriously … I have a healthy (healthier) series coming up later this month and into January. Y’all know I’m going to need all the help I can get!
When we entertain, I love to share recipes (especially desserts!) that wow my guests. Although I have made quite a few recipe-begging desserts in my day, I love the ones that “seem” complicated but are really easy … it adds to the “wow factor,” don’t you think?! These Mini Cannoli Cups are one of those recipes! So divine and indulgent, but super easy to make! The fact that they are bite-sized really adds to their appeal! People love them! With Christmas just a few days away, and then the New Year, these are the perfect party food – your guests are sure to LOVE them!

Jamie, these do look like the star of any party! Oh my gosh, they're so cute and perfectly bite size! I want to sink my teeth into one right now. 🙂 Pinned! Have a wonderful week!
Yummy!! I am absolutely going to have to try these sometime soon 🙂
Another winner for sure. Great to take to pot lucks or events you are asked to bring a finger food! The pistachios make it look so pretty.
G'day Thx for hosting such a great party Jamie! Pinned…shared

Those look so amazing!! Thank you for making them mini's too, that will maybe help me not eat too many 😉 Thanks for sharing on Weekend Bites. I'm featuring the raspberry fool at this weeks party.
These are SO pretty! I love mini desserts that are bite-size.
These bite-sized cannoli cups are incredibly appealing. Pinned!
I've only been making "petite" desserts, and these are moving right to the top of my must-try list! Pinned! (Stopping by from Best of the Weekend).
My favorite dessert ever is cannoli. I cannot wait to try this out, the recipe looks simple and they look delicious! Pinned!
Just wanted you to know that your cannoli cups are being featured on Weekend Bites. Thanks so much for being part of the party all year and Merry Christmas.
Jamie, those look amazing!! My kids love cannolis…I've never tried making them before but your recipe looks easy enough for me! 🙂 Thanks for sharing them at Foodie Fridays! I'll be spreading some foodie love around for you!
These are so simple to make! Can you believe I've never had a cannoli? I've wanted to try one though. Maybe I'll start with these. 🙂
These are gorgeous! And what a great idea to use the Pillsbury pie crusts! I love cannolis!
Who doesn't love bite sized treats?? These look so tasty!
I know my guy would love these! Great recipe Jamie!!
They are dreamy! I would love to grab a few of them through the screen right now 🙂
Cannolis are probably my favorite dessert!!
This recipe would be so easy to convert to gluten free by just replacing it with a gluten-free pie crust. And having a few of those stalled out. It would make a great gluten free appetizer to impress any gluten-free Skeptics out there.
