We’ve created a delightful twist on two iconic desserts with our Holy Cannoli Beignets. This dessert combines the beloved New Orleans beignet with another beloved Italian dessert – Cannoli.
Our Holy Cannoli Beignets feature a traditional crispy exterior with cannoli cream on the exterior and al the traditional Italian Cannoli toppings – making them an unforgettable dessert that captures the essence of both cultures.
We prepare them with the filling on the outside and coat them with pistachios and powdered sugar. Then we top them off with a light drizzle of caramel on top. They’re available in sets of three, just like at the famous Cafe du Monde, and you can enjoy them during dinner service on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, as well as during Sunday brunch. For those who love a good dessert, our beignets are sure to become a new favorite.
Real Beignet Dough: The Secret to Our Dessert
We take pride in using authentic New Orleans beignet dough, fried to order, to create the perfect dessert. The crispy shell contrasts beautifully with the creamy cannoli filling, offering a delightful texture with every bite. Beignets have long been a staple in New Orleans, and by adding our unique twist, we’ve created a dessert that is both familiar and exciting. Whether you’re enjoying them with dinner or brunch, these beignets promise to deliver a taste of New Orleans in each bite.

Why We Love Cannoli Filling
The cannoli filling we use is a nod to our Italian roots. Freshly made with ricotta and a hint of vanilla, it offers a creamy sweetness that enhances the overall dessert experience. This filling not only adds a rich flavor to the beignets but also showcases our appreciation for traditional Italian desserts. The combination of cannoli filling and beignets creates a unique fusion that dessert lovers will appreciate. Visit us to taste this delicious blend of cultures.
Pistachios and Powdered Sugar: A Perfect Finish
We finish our Holy Cannoli Beignets with a generous coating of pistachios and powdered sugar, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture. The pistachios provide a nutty contrast to the sweet filling, while the powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness. This final touch makes our beignets not only taste amazing but also look irresistible. Pair them with a cup of coffee or enjoy them as a standalone dessert, and you’ll discover why they’re a must-try.
Furthermore, our Holy Cannoli Beignets exemplify how creative culinary expressions can become instant classics. Each dessert we serve is a reflection of our dedication to quality and innovation. By incorporating elements from both New Orleans and Italian dessert traditions, we’ve crafted a treat that is as delicious as it is memorable. These beignets are perfect for sharing with friends or savoring alone during a relaxed brunch or an evening meal. As you indulge in each bite, you’ll experience the perfect mix of crispy texture, creamy filling, and nutty sweetness, all complemented by the rich caramel drizzle.
