St. Joseph's Day culinary traditions

According to this chowhound site, zeppeli pastries on St. Joseph's day is an Italian tradition.  Apparently the pastries consist of deep-fried dough (like a donut hole) topped with honey, cinnamon, vanilla ice cream, and whipping cream.

I'm looking for a recipe for the St Joseph's Zeppeli. The pastry and the cream inside. Do you have one?

After consultation from elsewhere, I have learned that you might try looking for "zeppole" (also known as "sfingi di San Giuseppe")

The following links were also brought to my attention:
