🇮🇹 Italy recipe
Cannoli
The crown jewel of Sicilian pastry, cannoli feature a shattering, wine-infused fried shell wrapped around a luscious filling of fresh sheep's milk ricotta, sugar, and chocolate chips or candied fruit. The shells must be crisp, the ricotta must be fresh and well-drained, and they must be filled at the very last moment.
