🥄 What Are Cannoli?
Cannoli are iconic Italian pastries made from tube-shaped, fried pastry shells filled with creamy ricotta filling. They’re often topped with mini chocolate chips, pistachios, or candied fruit, making them both beautiful and indulgent.
Traditionally enjoyed during Carnival season in Sicily, cannoli are now a beloved dessert all year round. The crispy shell pairs perfectly with the sweet, smooth ricotta filling.

You can customize the flavor with chocolate, pistachios, or even fruit. Every time I make these, they turn out delicious, and it’s always a labor of love. That’s what makes this recipe my favorite!
