Description
To understand Cannoli Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Chips, it helps to understand the roots of cannoli itself. Cannoli originated in Sicily, where they were traditionally prepared during celebrations and festivals. The classic cannoli consists of a fried pastry shell filled with sweetened ricotta, often enhanced with citrus zest, chocolate, or nuts.
