Donut and cannoli? It’s a match made in heaven. Approach it with a knife and fork to cut through the moist, glazed donut. The ratio of ingredients is flawless, with enough cream to coat your donut and chocolate chips to add a burst of cocoa crunch.

Pinnoli from Abeetz

Westchester Mobile Pizza Truck; 845.590.7307

The cannoli comes to us from Sicily and so did the word Abeetz (the Sicilian slang pronunciation of pizza). To merge the two, Abeetz slathers a cinnamon-sugar churro crust with cannoli cream and chocolate shavings to create one unique dessert.
