Cannoli from Scratch with Erica Foffi

Crisp shells, creamy filling, and a dessert that must be assembled at the very last moment. Cannoli are one of Sicily’s most iconic sweets, rooted in tradition and craftsmanship rather than shortcuts.

In this hands-on class, Italian cook Erica Foffi walks you through the techniques behind authentic Sicilian cannoli, focusing on what truly makes the difference between meh and meraviglioso: homemade shells. Students will learn how to make traditional cannoli shells from scratch, starting with making, rolling and shaping the dough, then carefully frying the shells until crisp, golden, and perfectly blistered. Erica will also demonstrate how to prepare a smooth, well-balanced ricotta crema and how to properly fill the cannoli shells.

The class finishes with the final assembly of the cannoli and classic decorations such as pistachios, chocolate, and candied citrus. A true Sicilian experience, focused on technique, tradition, and flavour. Participants will enjoy their cannoli at the end of the class and leave with recipes and the confidence to recreate them at home.
