Really tasty, the sweet Carnival ravioli are a dessert much loved by children and are also easy to prepare. Stuffed with ricotta and cinnamon are also ideal for a snack.
Our grandmothers typically added to the cream cheese also a shot of sambuca and chocolate chips. We can make the cream cheese using the recipe that we prefer. Let’s see how to proceed together:
