SICILIAN CANNOLI RECIPE | HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL CANNOLI SICILIANI
Sicilian Cannoli are the most famous dessert of the Sicilian tradition. They are a greedy pleasure, which combines the crunchiness of the cannolo with the creaminess of the ricotta. Ricotta cream is made with sheep's milk ricotta because it is less watery and sloppy and is almost always enriched with pieces of chocolate and the finished cannoli are often garnished with chopped pistachios, chocolate flakes or candied fruit.

- Beat ricotta cheese and 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in mixed peel and chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
