Italian dessert
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. Inspired by Italian "Cannoli," this treat will transport you to the atmosphere of Sicily, making you feel as if you're on a sunny Mediterranean island amidst the annual carnival. These pastries are cooked in an unusual way for us—on a skillet—and have a unique flavor. Often used for pranks, where instead of cream, a surprise like cotton candy is placed inside. They are quick to prepare and even quicker to eat. You can decorate the pastries however you like. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
