Cannoli Wafer Sandwiches image

My family loves to visit a local Italian restaurant that has a wonderful dessert buffet. The cannoli is among our favorite choices, so I just had to come up with my own simple version. These sandwiches are best served the same day so the wafers remain nice and crisp. -Nichi Larson, Shawnee, Kansas
