CHIACCHIERE CANNOLI with CASSATA, a delightful Carnival sweet to make in a short time, a tasty idea to serve after lunch or dinner filled with ricotta, candied fruit, and chocolate.

The chiacchiere cannoli filled with Sicilian cassata are sweets that have the typical shape of the Sicilian cannoli but the pastry is made with the dough of chiacchiere and the filling is the same as that of the cannoli made of ricotta, candied fruit, chocolate, and sugar.

A very delicious and fried sweet but you can also bake them if you prefer a lighter dessert, the chiacchiere cannoli are crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a simple filling very quick to prepare.

Carnival sweets are never enough, they are perfect to enjoy at any time, generally fried but you can also cook them with an air fryer or in the oven.
