Cannoli Cream Pie

A slice of creamy Cannoli Cream Pie topped with mini chocolate chips on a dessert plate.

When I think of comfort food, this Cannoli Cream Pie always comes to mind. It takes everything I love about classic cannoli—creamy filling, chocolate chips, and a touch of pistachio—and transforms it into an easy pie that’s perfect for any dinner gathering. I love how quick it is to put together, and the best part is letting the fridge do all the work while I relax.
