Sicilian Cannoli Masterclass: From Scratch to Shell

About this event

Nothing beats the crack of a fresh, homemade cannoli shell filled with velvety, freshly whipped ricotta. In this interactive culinary workshop, you’ll step into the kitchen and learn how to make authentic Sicilian cannoli from scratch—no pre-made shells or artificial shortcuts.

Guided step-by-step, you’ll learn the secrets to creating light, blistered pastry dough using traditional techniques. We’ll pass the dough through pasta rollers for that delicate, paper-thin crispness, wrap and fry your shells to golden perfection, and mix custom artisan fillings.

What You’ll Learn & Do:

• Master the Dough: Mix, rest, and roll traditional wine-infused dough for maximum blister and crunch.

• Fry with Confidence: Learn proper oil temperature, wrapping techniques, and frying safety.

• Craft the Fillings: Whip classic sweet ricotta with citrus zest, vanilla, and dark chocolate, plus explore custom flavor additions.

• Pipe & Decorate: Practice professional piping and style your cannoli with crushed Sicilian pistachios, toasted dark chocolate chips, and candied peel.

What’s Included:

• All ingredient prep, tools, and cooking stations provided.

• Tasting session during class.

• A bakery takeaway box filled with 6–8 of your handcrafted cannoli.

• Full digital recipe cards and troubleshooting guides to recreate them at home.

Note: Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Aprons and light refreshments will be provided.
