	== ~~Preparation~~ ==		==History==
			Cannoli have a rich history that dates back to the Arab rule in Sicily. The dessert is believed to have originated in the Palermo and Messina areas during the time of the Emirate of Sicily. Originally, cannoli were prepared as a treat during the [[Carnival]] season, symbolizing fertility and abundance.

	Cannoli are typically made with a dough of wheat flour, wine, and lard. The dough is rolled out, cut into circles, and then wrapped around a metal tube to form a shell. The shell is then deep-fried until golden brown. The filling is made from ricotta cheese, sugar, and sometimes chocolate or candied fruits.		==Preparation==

	~~== Variations ==~~		[[File:Cannoli_siciliani.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Cannoli with ricotta filling]]

	~~There are many variations~~ of cannoli~~.

The preparation of cannoli involves making a dough from flour, sugar, and butter, which is then rolled into thin sheets and cut into circles. These circles are wrapped around metal tubes and fried until golden brown. Once cooled, the shells are filled with a mixture of ricotta cheese, sugar, and sometimes chocolate chips or candied fruit.

	~~== In popular culture ==~~		The filling can vary, with some recipes incorporating [[mascarpone]] or [[cream cheese]] to achieve a different texture. The ends of the cannoli are often garnished with chopped [[pistachios]], [[chocolate]], or [[maraschino cherries]].
