Holy, moly, it’s a cannoli (pie)!  You’re in luck today with our #12 blogger group and some wonderful no bake desserts!  I’m sharing this no bake cannoli cheesecake recipe!  I am so excited with the pick this month.  Aren’t we all looking for some desserts that are easy to make and don’t require heating up the kitchen?  YES we are!  You’ll see that the gals have really outdone themselves this month – be prepared to drool!

I can’t remember the first time I had a cannoli, but I think it might have been in Little Italy in New York City.  I loved the crunchy shell, the creamy filling with chocolate chips and the texture combination. They aren’t too sweet, but really satisfy the sweet tooth.  They are a great way to end a dinner or enjoy as a snack.

And the other person in the house – the DIY Guy – loves cannolis as well.  If we are out at an Italian restaurant, he will 9 times out of 10 order one (or two) for dessert along with an espresso coffee.  But I have to admit, I’ve never attempted to make them.  Maybe it’s the shells that intimidate me, because it’s not the filling – that is super easy to make.

When I decided to make these mini cannoli cheesecakes, I knew for sure I wasn’t going to make shells to just crush them up, so I went to our local supermarket that normally has e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.  I started to panic when I couldn’t find cannoli shells, so on a whim, I went to bakery counter to ask where they were.  I was expecting, “no we don’t carry them”, but lo and behold, he asked how many I wanted and I walked away with my shells. I guess the saying is true “there is a helpful smile in every aisle!” (this probably won’t make sense to non-midwesterners)

I also ended up with a bit of cannoli cheesecake filling leftover, and you know what? It goes perfectly with chocolate graham crackers!  Keep that in mind when you just want a super easy treat.

Enjoy this cannoli cheesecake recipe!

    Three years ago I lived in this little house in the middle of nowhere and about 10 minutes away was a restaurant with the best cannolis I have ever tasted. Can't wait to try this recipe to take me back there!

    I have made cannoli dip before, substituting cream cheese for the ricotta cheese because I am not fond of the gritty texture, and it was a huge hit at gatherings. I will have to try this as well, but again with the substitution. I find that the ricotta tends to stay gritty, no matter how much I try to cream it and it ruins the texture for me. I love this idea though, because the dip was already reminiscent of cheesecake. It tasted so good! I will try this with the cream cheese and see how it turns out. 😀

    This recipe sounds great – I'd really like to try it. Can it be made in a different type of a pan?

    Yes…. I bet you could make it in a pie plate. Press the crumbs in the pie plate and then put the filling in.
