Cannoli are traditional Italian desserts composed of crisp, tube-shaped pastry shells filled with a creamy, sweet filling, typically made from ricotta cheese. The shells are often lightly fried to create a crunchy texture and may be dipped in chocolate or garnished with chopped nuts or candied fruit. Originally from Sicily, cannoli are enjoyed around the world as a rich, indulgent treat, combining the crunch of the pastry with the smooth, flavorful filling. They are commonly served during festive occasions and are appreciated for their balanced combination of textures and sweet, aromatic flavors.
