Currently on my : Pistachio Love 💚
Cannoli are one of Sicily's most famous sweet treats and desserts. They are lightly fried pastry shells that are wrapped around a tube which are then masterfully filled with sweetened ricotta. Each end of a cannolo is decorated in either chocolate or citrus peel but I like mine dipped in pistachio. This one is extra special with a drizzle of pistachio cream in Giardini Naxos
Pistachio cream is often made of about 50% pulverised pistachio paste, milk, butter and sugar. Other recipes use egg yolks and vanilla to make something closer to a pastry cream. It is used much in the same way as Nutella or used when making cakes, but I will let you into a little secret, grab yourself a jar in Sicily and spread it onto some British digestive biscuits.
