About the Recipe: The Cannoli, a popular Italian dessert, is usually served in a crisp shell and stuffed with a filling of creamy ricotta studded with candied dried fruit and chocolate chips. This cake dessert captures all of those delicious flavors, combining them with summertime strawberries and lots of pistachios.
