Cannoli Ice Box Cake

To me dessert is not about measuring and sifting. Its about smiling and being happy! So I am a no bake dessert kind of guy. Because I am a chiropractor by day and food blogger at night, I like to test all my recipes after work to make sure they are quick and easy.

Do you have a friends who is as amazing as your favorite cake? To me Kristi (who inspired this recipe) is that person! She could be across the country, on her busiest day, and she would come running to be by my side no matter what! The first time I knew this cake existed was at her wedding to her fabulous husband Drew. Ever since then I always ask her to bring a cannoli cake when she comes to visit. Recently and she mentioned making a new recipe that was cannoli inspired and she told me I should do something like that! So since I cannot bake, I tried to make it into an icebox cake. And this recipe was born!!! Hope this inspires sweet dreams and happy memories for you too! Cannoli cake has become a tradition in our house for celebrations! Hope this recipe helps you celebrate life and how awesome you are!

3 Tips to For Easy Whipped Cream:


1. Place the bowl and whisk (or electric mixture bowl) in the freezer for 20 minutes before you use them. The colder the bowl the faster will form stiff creamy peaks.

2. Make sure that the heavy cream is cold cold cold! The cream being cold is a way to cut the time in half to whipped cream.

3. Taste the cream before you whip to see if needs more sugar or vanilla (if yes add before whip)! Once its whipped (whipping creates air). You want to be careful adding  as it could deflate the whip cream.
