STRAWBERRIES AND CANNOLI DIPPING CREAM

Why is this called cannoli dipping cream? There aren't any cannoli
anywhere in the recipe. I'm sure it's good, but the name makes no sense.

It's the insides of the cannoli, used as a dipping cream.

Cannoli filling is just sugar, ricotta and cream, sometimes pistachio
nuts and chocolate.

Sub in the Splenda and lose the cookie and you've got low carb.

I do something similar and call it "Naked Cannoli"

Kinda like my Unrolled Eggrolls. G

I haven't figured out if there is anything suitable for my diet that I
could dip into the cannoli stuff. Still pondering this.

Fingers are low-carb. Unless they're ladyfingers or finger sandwiches.

Now, you are one classy dame! G I think that this is one I'll save for
very special occasions. I know myself well enough to forcast that I would
eat the entire batch in one sitting if I were to try it now. It sounds
like heaven on a spoon. Thanks for posting it!
