    Holiday pie spreads are awesome. I mean how cool is it after you have eaten your weight in turkey, to head over to the dessert table and find a pie in every flavor?!?!? Dessert tables rock....nuff said.

    This Cannoli Tart is like a delicious cannoli without the mess (you know when you take a bite and all the filling comes out the other side?). Seriously delicious!!! The crust alone is so good that it can be eaten on its own!

    This tart is pretty simple to put together too. The homemade cinnamon crust is perfectly matched with a creamy ricotta filling that is studded with chocolate chips. Serve with a bit of a chocolate drizzle for a beautiful presentation.

      Just put this in the oven... I think it will taste delicious but I had trouble with the crust - it didn't come together with just 1 TB of milk... so I kept adding milk and it ended up at like 4 TB! However I think I prob should have stopped at 3 b/c then the crust was a bit sticky. It never formed into a ball in my food processor though? Any thoughts as to why? Thanks!

        I am sorry Kristen, not really sure why you had to add so much liquid. How did it turn out?

      This looks delicious! I'm planning to make it for a party this weekend. What size is your tart pan? I'm not sure what size to use. Thanks!

      I've made this recipe and it is delicious - I wonder if anyone has tried "mini-sizing" into cupcake tins and if it worked out as well and what the baking time ended up being?

        I have never made them mini, but if I did I would bake them for 14 minutes then check to see if they are done. Hopefully this helps.

      I made this cannoli tart this morning!! I finally was able to have a slice and it is fabulous. Do you have any idea about whether or not it can be frozen?

        It should freeze fine. Glad you liked it!

      This looks yum! I have a regular 9 or 9 1/2 inch tart pan. It's not deep-dish. Will that work?

      Sorry, also meant to ask can i make this the day before serving? Or is it best served the day it's made. Thanks!

      I just took this out of the oven. I wonder if a deep dish pan is necessary for this. I was left with a disproportionally high crust; the filling left me with a very shallow tart. I tried this with homemade ricotta. I look forward to tasting this tomorrow after it has chilled.
