I tried this recipe because it sounded different and because I love cannoli's. It was very easy to make. As I was making it, I said: "If this is good, I'm going to make this all the time." It's quick and there's not a lot of clean up. Unfortunately I didn't like it. I made it for my husband and brother. We all ended up picking out the cherries and chocolate (I used mini chips) and leaving the rest. We didn't like the texture and I wasn't a big fan of eating it half frozen/half thawed. I probably will not make this again.

This is a wonderful quick and easy dessert, perfect for the summer. It takes just like a frozen canoli. I served it first frozen and then put the remainder in the fridge, we enjoyed it both ways but I think we liked it chilled better. I can't wait to make this for my mom's bday thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.
