This game day snack platter is inspired by Italian cuisine and replaces traditional chip, cheese and salsa ingredients with a sugary alternative. This recipe for cannoli nachos makes the classic Italian dessert even more accessible by deconstructing its ingredients.
Rather than serving up a handful of creme filling inside a shell, the recipe features hand-cut shell triangles -- doubling as this platter's chips -- and serves them alongside a bowl of creme filling. These dessert chips are garnished with melted chocolate, pistachios and cinnamon and are dipped in a creme filling to complete the cannoli flavor experience.
Appealing to those with a sweet tooth, this game day snack makes any sports-related family gathering a more indulgent event.
