My Simple Cannoli Parfaits

Parfaits and summer – they go together perfectly. But do you know what makes an even better combination? Cannoli Parfaits! They are made with a simple cannoli cream, chocolate chips, and pistachios. The best part is that the extras (chocolate chips and pistachios) can be easily substituted or removed.

I love cannolis. What can I say? I’m always looking for new ways to throw its unique sweet flavor into more dishes like my Low Carb Cannoli Bites. Cannoli cream is a favorite of mine, so making Cannoli Parfaits is perfect!

It all starts with the cannoli cream, then you chop of some pistachios to make them more bite sized – this really does make it easier when chewing on this delicious dessert.

Totally easy, and totally delish. These Cannoli Parfaits are just perfect. Don’t forget that you don’t even need to turn on your oven!
