Cannolis 1.5kg (approx 55 pieces)

Cannoli, originating from Sicily, Italy, is a classic and beloved Italian pastry renowned for its unique tubular shape, crisp outer shell, and luscious, sweet filling. These iconic desserts have become popular worldwide, celebrated for their delightful combination of textures and flavours.

The outer shell of a cannolo is a thin, crispy pastry tube, which is often fried to achieve its golden-brown colour and delicate crunch. The dough for the shell typically includes flour, sugar, butter, and a touch of white wine or vinegar, creating a crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.

The filling of a cannoli is a key element that elevates the pastry to a decadent treat. The traditional filling is made with ricotta cheese, sweetened with sugar, and often flavoured with vanilla or citrus zest. Some variations may include chocolate chips, candied fruit, or chopped nuts to add extra layers of flavour and texture. The filling is creamy, slightly dense, and rich, creating a harmonious balance with the crisp shell.

Cannoli are often garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar and, in some cases, additional elements such as chopped pistachios or chocolate shavings. The final result is a visually appealing dessert that not only delights the taste buds but also captures the essence of Italian culinary artistry.

Cannoli are typically enjoyed as a special treat during festive occasions, holidays, or as a decadent dessert in Italian bakeries and restaurants. Their popularity lies in the delightful interplay of the crunchy shell and the creamy filling, creating a dessert that is both satisfying and indulgent.

Available in chocolate hazelnut, cream, lemon and pistachio.
