cannolo
Fried ricotta shell
A cannolo is a Sicilian pastry—a tube of fried dough filled with sweet ricotta cream, often studded with chocolate chips or candied fruit.
The singular form is rarely heard in English; most people say cannoli even for one, treating the Italian plural as a mass noun: I'll have a cannoli for dessert.
