Cannoncini alla crema

Happy birthday my love.

From Sep the 1st to October there are a lot of birthdays in my family. Any time I try to give everyone his/her sweet gift baseed on his/her preferences.
This time my boyfriend told me: "please do not make cakes anymore", such a strange request. Well,  I thought: "Fine, cakes are not the only thing I can do, there is also the patisserie" :)
...Such a women devilish idea!
Taking advantage of the time for his gym, I made such delicous cannoncini with vanilla custard in only...."wait for it"...30 min (this time includes preparing, cooking, dishing out, cleaning and hiding everything). You don't believe me? Ok, you are right, I also took advantage of the shower, using my dissumulation talent to hide what I was doing when he cames back! yeah!

Let have a look!

Cool them down and fill in with the vanilla custard.
