Cannoli de Castro.
This beloved Italian dessert has been around for many many years but has only recently started making waves in the Philippines. And we honestly can’t see why. It’s simply irresistible and it’s amazing what the combination of a hand-rolled crispy pastry shell and rich and creamy ricotta filling can do to the tastebuds. Oftentimes they even come with chocolate chips, crushed pistachios, or dipped in chocolate. But no matter what topping or flavor you choose, cannolis are definitely a treat. To get you started, here’s a list of the best places to get cannoli in the Metro.
