Cannoli

Enter the southern pleasure of cannoli. A crispy tube filled with sweet ricotta cheese and often studded with candied fruit or chocolate chips might not sound immediately like your new best friend, but just trust us. Its origins can be traced back to Sicily, where it was originally created as a symbol of fertility and abundance during Carnevale. Over the centuries, the cannoli evolved from a simple peasant snack to a beloved treat enjoyed by people of all walks of life. Leave the gun…take the cannoli—or so to speak.
