The Sicilian cannolo is one of the most famous Italian sweets in the world. Contrary to what most people believe, these delicious ricotta-cream filled wafers have been around for a long, long time. During his time spent in Sicily as a Roman queastor, Cicero fell in love with a predecessor of the modern cannolo. He described the dessert as a tube stuffed with a sweet, milk-based filling.
According to some accounts, however, the creation of modern cannoli came as a result of the Arabs who once controlled Sicily. This satisfying sweet was likely created inside a Muslim harem in the city of Kalt El Nissa, modern-day Caltanissetta. In this harem, the women spent their time preparing this delicacy.
In fact, it may very well have been on of these women who modified a preexisting Arab dessert made with ricotta, almonds and honey to fit Cicero’s description. In doing so, she created what is now known throughout the world as Sicilian cannoli.
