Cannoli without Marsala Wine

Today is all about improvising. Its all about cooking without the right equipment and getting amazing results.
I made two dishes today. But for both of the dishes I didn't have the require equipment but I made them :D and they were great.

The first dish was a cheese stuffed chicken breasts dish and the second was this-Cannoli. Cannoli is a dessert made of fried tubes and filled with sweet ricotta or some other stuffing. First off, I did not have any Marsala wine with me today. Second I don't have the Cannoli tubes which are used to wrap the dough and fry in hot oil. Thirdly I didn't wanted to deep fry it. So here is the healthy (as per not being deep fried) version of Cannoli without wine

Mix all the ingredients of the filling and leave it in the fridge until ready to use.

Heat a griddle to medium heat. Take 1/2 tablespoon of batter, place it into middle of the griddle and spread it with the back of a ladle with a light hand into about 4 inches circle. Let fry for about 2 minutes. Turn and fry for 1 more minute. Flip again and place a wooden cooking spoons handle and roll the hot cannoli onto it. Take it off into a place. Let it cool.

Right before serving, fill in the filling from the middle from both sides. Enjoy crunchy and cool Cannoli
