I decided to surprise my husband with a new flavor for our anniversary and I was pretty happy with how it turned out! Recipe in the comments 😊
Also, peeling pistachios was the real labor of love here but the color payoff was so so good

Some notes: **you NEED to double the frosting amount**, it’s barely enough to crumb coat using the original recipe.
I’ve had better luck leaving out the chocolate chips (in this case, pistachios) from the cannoli filling and just sprinkling them between the layers when assembling.
Pistachio ganache was pistachio paste + white chocolate + heavy cream.
I used an infused cardamom simple syrup for the soak and it was a nice addition. Steep 4-6 smashed cardamom pods in the simple as it cooks, remove when cool.
I also added a scant amount of almond extract to boost the pistachio flavor; it was good, but I’d reduce or omit it in the future.
Pistachios got a 4-5 minute ice water soak before peeling. This was the best way to keep them bright green and somewhat crunchy with a pure pistachio flavor.
can i have a slice pleaseee🤤
