First box in 2+ years!
I have been wanting a cannoli flavored cookie for ages. I am a huge cannoli lover and I love everything about them so this week got me back after years.
I also love crème brûlée so this week was good bait to get me in. Pink sugar is always a classic so I got one as well.
🇮🇹 - Cannoli (7/10)
I had high expectations for this cookie with how it was described. A classic cannoli filling (I was hoping a nice ricotta whip) with chocolate chips on the edges sounded dreamy. It also reminded me of mikes pastry cannolis and I think that made my standards too high.
This cookie just tastes like the brown sugar cookie or whatever the thin cookies are and nothing else. I tried to taste just the filling and it was just a neutral plain filling and the chocolate chips were too subtle. This would benefit greatly from a real thick ricotta whipped filling and larger chocolate chips that actually add texture, like the standard size on the sides.
It’s not a bad cookie at all but not anything outstanding either unlike the other cookie I’ll get to next :)
🇫🇷 - Crème Brûlée (8.5/10)
I really wanted to try this cookie as well and it did surprise me. The topping was torched beautifully and I loved the fact that the crème had salt crystals inside as well. The texture was perfect and slightly runny like a creme brûlée and had a light creamy taste. It was sweet and a little salty with nice sugar crystals on the cookie edges.
The cookie itself has a somewhat brown sugar base flavor and I enjoyed it. It was a bit too sweet for me so I would eat it over the course of a couple days rather than all at once. Still lives up to its name better than the cannoli!

10/10. I’m not writing a detailed review for why I love this so much. It’s awesome. Love the almond taste always.
Thanks for reading! It’s rare for me to post nowadays but I’m glad to have tried this week.
I will only return when they have another great lineup like this week. Take care :)
