Texture: Think about the waffle cone you get from your favorite ice cream shop. It’s thin and crispy, right? Goes perfectly with ice cream! Well, these mini homemade versions are slightly thicker and a bit softer. After all, it’s a cookie.
Flavor: You get a sweet mild vanilla flavor from the cookie part. The filling is a combination of tangy and sweet from the sugar, cream, and cream cheese.
Difficulty: NOT difficult. Seriously, these cookies are so easy to make! I love making these ahead of time if I’m planning to have guests over. It’s a dessert that makes a big impact without a lot of effort. That way, I can focus on the things that require more time.
Versatility: There’s so much versatility when it comes to these cookies. You can add just about any flavor to the pizzelle cookie base. Want a chocolate version? Add some cocoa powder or swirl in some melted chocolate. As for the cream, I’m using my favorite simple cream that I also use in my favorite eclairs. But again, you can go for a chocolate mousse filling, a fruity filling, just about anything you can think of!
These cannoli-like cookies are magnificent! The perfect excuse to finally use that pizzelle maker! Enjoy!
