Cannoli are crispy, fried pastry tubes filled with sweet ricotta cream, originating from Sicily, Italy. Traditionally enjoyed during Carnival season, they are now a beloved Italian dessert worldwide. The crispy shell contrasts beautifully with the rich, creamy filling, often flavored with citrus, chocolate, or pistachios.
