Egg Free Cannoli

ByBhavna 
I get requests for so many egg free dessert recipes and Cannoli was the most requested. For me, converting this recipe to egg free was very easy and I was able achieve perfect result in very first attempt. Usually, some recipes take few efforts to get it right but I really enjoyed making this recipe.
 The shells are pretty simple to make, and taste so much better than the ready-made shells you buy in the Italian markets. I use 100% organic grape juice instead of Marsala wine and also without egg.
