cannoli

Cannoli have officially made it to my must-make list for the holidays, and this year, they’re my go-to treat to wow my guests! The process of making these is a real joy—especially because the dough is so similar to pasta dough, but in its sweet form. It's all about getting that perfect texture and rolling it out thin with a pasta machine. Then, after wrapping the dough around oiled molds and sealing the edges with a simple flour-water paste, it’s time for frying—watching those golden shells crisp up is always exciting! Once cooled, I fill them with a rich, creamy mixture infused with orange zest, and finish by dipping the edges in crushed pistachios. You can also get creative with toppings—diced candied oranges, chocolate chips, or candied cherries are all great options. It’s the perfect addition to my Hanukkah menu and always a hit with guests. Every bite is a little piece of holiday magic!
