I’m going to a friend’s tomorrow for Thanksgiving and while she sweetly said I don’t need to bring anything other than something small, I feel like I’m not contributing. So, I decided to make some yummy pizzelle as they are both delicious and easy.
I’d like to jazz up the pizzelle, though, so I was considering making some chocolate. Then it hit me: I could form them into little tubes and make a cannoli filling. Of course, the problem is that 1: I’ve never made cannoli before and 2: my Googling tells me I can’t make cannoli filling in anything ahead of time, because it will get soggy and full of hate. True?
I’m here for ideas! Either to the pizzelle themselves or rolling them into something exciting. Halp!
Well, if you fill up the pizelle long before you need to, they’ll get soft. But what about making the filling ahead of time and bringing it in a separate bowl? Just bring that, the pizelle and a piping/filling bag and fill 'em when you get there. It’s a big squoosh and then it’s filled, so it shouldn’t take too long.
If you go with zweisamkeit’s idea, don’t even bother with a separate bowl. Put the filling in a zip-lock bag. When you get there, snip a teeny bit off one corner of the bag and sploot your filling in that way. Chuck the bag when you’re done.
