Cannoli

Cannolis are a classic Italian pastry originating from Sicily, consisting of crispy, fried pastry dough shells filled with a sweet, creamy cheese mixture. The word "cannoli" is the plural form of "cannolo," which means "little tube" in Italian, referencing their characteristic tubular shape. They are a popular dessert in Italian cuisine and are known for their delightful contrast in textures: a crisp, golden-brown shell and a rich, smooth filling.
