Cannoli French Toast

Happy Labor Day! Are you enjoying your long weekend?? :)

I think this is going to be a week of breakfast posts. All three this week will feature breakfast or brunch foods. How does that sound? :D

Today's is Cannoli Stuffed French Toast from Two Peas & Their Pod.

Do you remember when I posted these Easy Cannoli Cups? Yeah, I figured you didn't. Go ahead and link to the post. I'll wait for you to refresh your memory. :D

OK. So I had extra filling, and I popped it into the freezer to see how it would do. The answer is, meh. :D It might be fine if I thawed the whole container and then whipped it, but I didn't want to do that - what you see above is the only serving I wanted to make - I mean, I was the only one around to eat it! :)

However, the filling worked for this - and I didn't want to make up a whole lot more filling. But if you don't have cannoli filling in your freezer, by all means, today's recipe is a great one! :)

This is a YES, PLEASE! - although I would definitely save it for a special occasion. I mean, chocolate and cannoli filling between two pieces of French bread French toast?!? Yum. And DECADENT. :) Although it tastes very sweet, it doesn't have a load of sugar in it. But I would definitely suggest the confectioner's sugar dusting on top, and not syrup. :D

I hope you'll try it - and try to do it with someone special. It's more fun, I guarantee. :D Have a wonderful day! Be BLESSED!

Easy Cannoli Cups

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!! Today's my last day here at the blog for a bit; I fly out with the sunrise on Monday. I may try to get a few posts up for you for next week, but I simply can't promise anything - I'm gonna be BUSY. :D

Today's recipe is for Easy Cannoli Cups from gimme some oven.

I made these to take for that funeral meal I mentioned in the garlic French bread post; I figured they would be easy to transport and put on a buffet table. And they were! :)

I'm gonna give these a YES, PLEASE! If you don't like really sweet desserts, these fit the bill. There's not a lot of confectioner's sugar in the filling, and those are wanton wrappers. To be honest, I *might* bump the confectioner's sugar a bit the next time - but the mini chips on top are a must-have. They're the perfect tiny touch of chocolate! And, although I thought about doubling the recipe, one package of wonton wrappers made LOTS of cups, so I didn't need to double the thing at all - I have a half-batch of filling in the freezer for another time. :D And you can use those cups for LOTS of different fillings, too.

OK, I'm outta here! Have a WONDERFUL weekend! BE BLESSED!
