Lemon and Chocolate Cannoli

My 1st Daring Kitchen Baker's Challenge!  I decided to do both my challenges for the month for my In-Laws the day after Thanksgiving! Both were very successful, but I can't post the Cook Challenge until mid December!  As for the cannoli, it was fun! They were tasty! Yes, even a little too sweet for me! I Baked them instead of frying them! I am not big on frying anything! It hurts, Literally! I found that I love for other people to buy the groceries and that I enjoy cooking at my own pace and don't like to be rushed! So I took 2 and half days of slow prep before assembling them. Here is my not so tenative schedule!

• Wed- Bought groceries and drained cheese.
• Thur- Made dough, let sit over night.
• Fri- Made filling and assembled.

Sorry to post this a little late with Thanksgiving and traveling I haven't had a second to put it up! Well here they are!

Dough was extremely stiff! I had to fight with it!

Raw cannoli!

Close up!

My flavors! But I only used the lemon and the chocolate bars!

My filling before flavoring!

My finished product! By the time I got the the lemons I was in a hurry trying to get somewhere! They weren't and pretty!

YUMMY Chocolate!

The November 2009 Daring Bakers Challenge was chosen and hosted by Lisa Michele ofParsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives. She chose the Italian Pastry, Cannolo (Cannoli is plural), using the cookbooks Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and The Sopranos Family Cookbook by Allen Rucker; recipes by Michelle Scicolone, as ingredient/direction guides. She added her own modifications/changes, so the recipe is not 100% verbatim from either book.
