Avocado Panna Cotta

Provided by: Chileanavocados.org

Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert, which translates as 'cooked cream'. This lower calorie version uses creamy avocado for a silky texture and beautiful pale green color. Put mixture in individual molds, or pour into pretty serving dishes. The taste is rich but the calories are few. Garnish with a sprig of basil or mint or some partially thawed frozen raspberries.

Cannoli

Submitted by: Lydia Nacawa

Ana and Lydia's cannoli, recipe invented on July 31st, 2005. I spent a lot of time looking for a good recipe for cannoli shells and filling. Since no two were alike, and since instructions were a bit sketchy, I worked with a friend to come up with a good recipe, including some tips that we came up with along the way. Special equipment is needed such as cannoli tubes, a pasta machine and a pastry bag to help make these cannoli come out just like the ones at Italian restaurants and bakeries. Start with 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar, and then add more to taste.
