Since the 70’s people have been looking for the deep and hidden meaning for Clemenza’s famous line in the Godfather movie: ‘Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli’ . Clemenza had it right- Cannoli’s are f#ckn delicious- and no logical person would ever leave them behind. (No deep psychological mind-bending necessary).

Our love for Homemade Cannoli’s has also inspired the ChaRIZZmas Cannoli Martini, and the alcohol-infused Unholy Cannoli
Chances are, Cannoli’s were he influence of the Arabs who ruled Sicily, around the tenth century. They were the first to introduce sugar, and almonds to the Sicilian people, opening the door for wonderful culinary creations.
The first cannoli may have been created for a sultan in the Caltanissetta region. Others say a convent of nuns from the same region created the Cannoli. Wherever it started, it traveled to the United States by the late 19th century, where it became an American favorite.

Wow – I’ve never heard of a Ninja Creami before, but I’m certainly glad I read about it in this post! As someone that loves ice cream, this product seems like the godsend. Thanks for all of the great info on this!
Creamy Cheesy Cannoli flavor- love this recipe
DELICIOUS- Recommend.
I love the sound of this cannoli gelato. My husband is Sicilian and cannoli are his favourite treat! I have to look into getting a Ninja Creami. It seems like a fab appliance! BTW I’ve lived in Italy 20 years and have only ever heard Italians say ‘baciami il culo’ for kiss my ass. I’d be interested to know where ‘bacha ma culo’ comes from.
Love gelato – this is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I love the real ricotta in this Gelato. Pistachios, chocolate, and cherries are great adds too.
You did a good job of capturing the Cannoli flavor- yum
This is my favorite Ninja Gelato I have made so far!
