Holy Cannoli


JUNE 4TH, 2010

Holy Cannoli

If choosing wine to bring to a dinner party takes up half your weekend, try something a little sweeter.

Pick up a batch of authentic Italian cannolis from the gelato shop (your foodie friends will be so jealous you beat them to the pastry punch). Available only on weekends and in limited supply, the cinnamon-tinted shells are filled with a light cream made of ricotta cheese, sugar, chocolate chips and a touch of liquor, and topped with roasted almonds and a light dusting of icing sugar.

Oh and you can tell everyone they are handmade—they don’t need to know not by you.

$14 for 6. Available Friday-Sunday only at La Casa Gelato, 1033 Venables St., Vancouver, 604-251-3211, www.lacasagelato.com
