Want to try your hand at making Sicilian cannoli? It's an experience that blends history and flavor! Originally a Carnival treat, cannoli are now an icon of Sicilian pastry, enjoyed year-round. For the shells, you'll need flour, Marsala, and a touch of cocoa, while the classic filling is made with fresh sheep's milk ricotta, powdered sugar, and chocolate chips. Remember: the secret lies in resting the dough in the fridge and perfect frying for golden, crispy shells!
