Cannoli are crisp, bubbly, fried Italian pastries, traditionally filled with creamy ricotta. Their name means ‘little cane’ and they were first made by wrapping the pastry around a piece of sugar cane before frying; these days you can buy cylindrical metal cannoli moulds. Equipment: you will need a 10cm/4in plain round cutter, cannoli moulds, a piping bag and large star nozzle.
