This the TRDLO one of the most delicious dessert here in Prague.

The pastry is made by wrapping a slice of sweet dough around a metal cylinder, which is then used to flatten the dough, like a rolling pin. Still wrapped around the cylinder, the dough is then rolled in sugar and cinnamon and nuts and placed over an open flames or glowing coals, where it is heated until brown.

Then it’s sprinkled with more sugar or cinnamon and such and served hot. It kind of looks like an edible brown beer mug with the bottom missing.

Anyway, the dough is wrapped around a steel rolling pin, baked over open flames then rolled in sugar, vanilla, rushed almonds and cinnamon while it’s stil hot. Deliciously warm and fragrant but the bread is just a tad on the doughy side for us.

Here you can find the video about the TRDLO taken here in Pague

Ingredients for cannoli:
4 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate pieces, coarsely chopped
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
2 well-beaten eggs
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 slightly beaten egg white

Powdered sugar

Directions cannoli:
Combine ricotta, 1 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla. Depending on firmness of cheese, stir or beat till smooth. Fold in chocolate. Cover; chill. Combine flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in shortening till mixture resembles small peas. Combine eggs, water, and vinegar; add to flour mixture. Stir till dough forms a ball.
Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface roll each half to slightly less than 1/8-inch thickness. Using a knife and paper pattern, cut dough into ovals 6 inches long and 4 inches wide.  Beginning with long side, roll dough loosely on cannoli tubes. Moisten overlapping dough with egg white; press gently to seal. Fry in deep hot oil(375 degrees) for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, remove cones from tubes and cool. Cool tubes before reusing. Up to 1 hour before serving, fill cones using a pastry tube to force cheese mixture into cones. Sift powdered sugar atop.
Makes about 20 cannoli.

One of these delightfully tempting specialties is cassata, a Sicilian dessert. The Arabs introduced sugar cane, and this revolutionised Sicilian cooking. Before the ninth century local honey was used to sweeten Sicilian pastries. Cassata is a tort of plain white cake filled with the same sheep’s milk ricotta (cottage cheese) cream used in cannoli and sfinci, topped with frosting and sugared fruits.

It is traditionally a winter and spring dessert served around Easter; in Sicily sheep produce little milk in summer, and frostings would melt under the torrid heat.

Its name is believed to derive from the medieval Arabic kas’at in reference either to its circular form (more precisely the pan used to mold it) or the word for cheese products (cascio akin to casein). By 1300 Arab Sicily was a thing of the past, and cassata became an aristocratic dessert, its recipes jealously guarded by monastic nuns or the chefs of the aristocracy.

Even today, few outside the culinary profession are ambitious enough to make it at home. Why bother, when Palermo boasts the world’s greatest pastry bars? One of the earliest “modern” references to cassata was a document issued at Mazara in 1575 mentioning its importance at religious feasts. Cassata probably originated at Palermo or another city of western Sicily.

Sicilian gelato (ice cream), as it has come to us, is an Arab invention based on sorbet made with cane sugar, though its earliest origins, like that of torrone, are Roman.

Cassata is made year ’round but it’s still best from November through April.
