Made this and I added toasted almonds. Scrumptious! It would be nice to know how many cannoli's this recipe fills. Since I cut it down and still have filling left, .... When posting a recipe; if the one who posts the recipe knows quantity, it would be helpful to pass on, in the recipe post how much the recipe makes!
