Sicilian Cannoli with Lemony Ricotta

Sunday, March 19, 2023, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm PST. $40 (on Zoom). Limited to 10 streaming devices.

Sicilian Cannoli with Lemony Ricotta. Classic and absolutely Sicilian. The cannoli has everything. Crunchy fried shells filled with lemony ricotta and garnished with chocolate chips and pistachios. I consider cannoli a very special treat and a real show-stopper great for special occasions. I always feel like I am in Sicily when I taste that crispy fried, creamy ricotta filled bite.

Here’s how it works

Together, over Zoom, we will cook together. Once you register for the class, I will send you the complete recipe and the equipment list. Then, on the day of class, before it begins, assemble all of your ingredients and equipment. When class starts, we will cook together and I will take you through everything, step by step. When the class is over, you will be ready to serve your gorgeous cannoli to family or friends. You’ll need to purchase the Cannoli forms separately. More info below.

After you submit your payment, I will send you an email with the recipes, ingredients and equipment list, and the Zoom link. Can’t wait to cook together.

What you will need

Together, we will make a simple dough with flour, butter, egg, and wine to flavor. The filling will be made with ricotta, lemon zest, powdered sugar, vanilla extract with mini chocolate chips and pistachio. We will roll out the dough, wrap it around the cannoli forms and quickly fry them to make crispy cannoli shells ready to be filled. The process is simple, and they are a easy to make. We will fry the cannoli shells in a heavy pan in oil such as sunflower, peanut, or your favorite cooking oil.

Purchasing your Cannoli Forms

To make cannoli together in your own kitchen, you will need to purchase your cannoli forms separately. The stainless steel cannoli forms can be used again and again. Info below:
