canoli pie

Recipe by

I softened the mascarpone in the microwave. If you do this, the cheese may separate. I've made this pie even if the cheese separated and it turned out just fine.... You may also want to add raisins to the cheese filling as well as chocolate chips, as I did (shown in the picture).
