Cannoli originate from Sicily, traditionally associated with Carnival season, and remain one of the most celebrated desserts of Italian-American cuisine today.
Crisp Sicilian pastry tubes filled with sweetened ricotta cream and studded with chocolate chips or candied fruit — an iconic Italian dessert.
Make a firm dough from flour, sugar, butter and marsala, and chill for 1 hour.
Roll thin, cut into circles, and wrap around cannoli tubes, sealing the edge.
Deep-fry until golden and crisp, then cool completely and remove the tubes.
Whip ricotta with icing sugar until smooth, and pipe into the cooled shells just before serving.
Only fill the shells right before serving — filled too early, they turn soggy quickly.
