DH said it was a little sweeter than what he expected, so I'll back off the sugar next time. Very good! Thanks for an awesome recipe. -
This was delicious! I forgot to get maraschino cherries at the store but used everything else as-is. Tastes just like the cannoli cream from the italian restaurant I used to work for. For dippers, I used store-bought cinnamon sugar pita chips instead of messing around making the cinnamon tortillas! -
I mixed this up to take to a Super Bowl party because it seemed like something a bit different than the normal football food. It was the star of the buffet table, lemme tell you. I doubled the recipe, using only 2 cups of sugar instead of 3 and it was just sweet enough. Also, I was a bit short on time, so instead of making the cinnamon/sugar tortillas, I served this with broken waffle cones. Awesome!

I made the dip part of this recipe for a luncheon I was catering. I followed the recipe exactly and for some reason my dip turned out gritty and watery. I just dont understand what went wrong. I'm a little upset because the ingredients were a bit pricey and I had to trash it. Luckily I have ingredients for alternative desserts in my cupboard. I'm sorry it didn't turn out for me.

My husband and I are pastors who work with college students and young adults and we absolutely love it! The students are my "kids" and constantly teach me new things and keep my life interesting. I have posted many recipes here at their behest. Sometimes I think they just love me 'cause they know that can come over and get a fresh homecooked meal -a great break from their sketchy college cafeteria food!
I grew up in a beautiful, loud, fun, albeit slightly crazy, Spanish-Italian family where cooking is not just about putting food on the table -it is an art. An intense, passionate art of carefully guarded secret recipes.
So cooking is in my blood and I enjoy it immensely. I love having dinner parties just so I can whip up fancy new recipes. And the college students are always happy to be my guests!
