Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Sift dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add all of the extract and the water a little at a time until to a thinned-out pancake batter consistency (you may not need all of the water).
  3. Heat a nonstick omelette skillet to medium-low heat and coat evenly with nonstick spray.
  4. Place 3 tbsp of the mixture in the pan and swirl to coat.
  5. *Here's where it gets tricky* Once the crepe turns an opaque periwinkle, take OFF the burner for about 30 seconds.
  6. Then put back on.
  7. Run a spatula around carefully!
  8. And carefully peel off.
  9. If necessary, peel off the crispy outer edge.
  10. Roll into a cannoli-shaped tube; leaving enough room to fill them later (use your index finger as a guide if necessary).
  11. Cut off edges for an even, straight tube.
  12. Cut into smaller pieces if a smaller dessert is desired (you can get 2-3 bite-sized pieces from each).
  13. Repeat until batter is gone.
  14. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350*F.
  15. After cannoli crepes are all done and ready, space evenly on a parchment covered cookie sheet.
  16. Place in oven for 5-10 minutes.
  17. ((We do NOT want them crispy hard! Just to hold their shape)).
  18. Turn off oven and leave them inside to cool (like meringue) ((If cracks have formed on cannoli crepes, while they are warm and pliable, just carefully smoosh the cracks closed with fingers)).
  19. **Filling**.
  20. I suggest you whiz the pecans in a food processor to almost a powder (especially if you plan on piping).
  21. Combine all filling ingredients in food processor and process until creamy and uniform and to taste.
  22. Add a little water if a creamier texture is desired (start with a tsp-1/2 tbsp worth).
  23. ~Turtle~.
  24. Place sifted cocoa in a small bowl.
  25. Add boiling water a little at a time to combine (This is to bring out the full chocolate flavor and to create a creamy paste).
  26. Add to filling and blend evenly.
  27. **Caramel**.
  28. Set up a double boiler.
  29. Melt caramel in a double boiler or in microwave.
  30. Place on heated double boiler after microwaving (if using micro).
  31. Mix in milk to make creamy (I suggest using a fork for everything here- I used 2).
  32. Drop cooled shells in one at a time and let drip back into the bowl before placing on parchment to cool and harden.
  33. *Feel free to roll in extra pecans.
  34. Repeat until all done.
  35. Allow to cool and set at room temperature.
  36. Overnight would be good (I, on the other hand, rushed things and ended up with a sticky confection- but it was still good).
  37. When set, pipe filling into shells using a piping bag or a ziploc.
  38. I used a butter knife and a toothpick (to jab things in) (My pecans were too big to pipe- mad at myself for that).
  39. Once all filled, refrigerate or freeze.
  40. Serve chilled.
