Ricotta Cannoli

@tuduu

Ricotta cannoli are a classic Sicilian dessert, typical of the Carnival period. These delicate and crunchy treats are filled with a fresh ricotta cream mixed with sugar and candied fruit, enriched with chocolate pieces. The filling is then inserted into crunchy shells made with flour, egg yolks, alcohol, and lard. Once ready, the cannoli are fried in plenty of lard to achieve a crispy golden color. Ricotta cannoli are an explosion of flavor and texture, a true delight for the palate!
