CANNOLI



Cannoli image

Ana and Lydia's cannoli, recipe invented on July 31st, 2005. I spent a lot of time looking for a good recipe for cannoli shells and filling. Since no two were alike, and since instructions were a bit sketchy, I worked with a friend to come up with a good recipe, including some tips that we came up with along the way. Special equipment is needed such as cannoli tubes, a pasta machine and a pastry bag to help make these cannoli come out just like the ones at Italian restaurants and bakeries. Start with 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar, and then add more to taste.

Time 3h45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons shortening
1 egg
1 egg yolk
½ cup sweet Marsala wine
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 egg white
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed
1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest, or to taste
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the shortening until it is in pieces no larger than peas. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, egg yolk, Marsala wine, vinegar and water. Mix with a fork until the dough becomes stiff, then finish it by hand, kneading on a clean surface. Add a bit more water if needed to incorporate all of the dry ingredients. Knead for about 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Divide the cannoli dough into thirds, and flatten each one just enough to get through the pasta machine. Roll the dough through successively thinner settings until you have reached the thinnest setting. Dust lightly with flour if necessary. Place the sheet of dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a form or large glass or bowl, cut out 4 to 5 inch circles. Dust the circles with a light coating of flour. This will help you later in removing the shells from the tubes. Roll dough around cannoli tubes, sealing the edge with a bit of egg white.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or deep heavy skillet. Fry shells on the tubes a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Use tongs to turn as needed. Carefully remove using the tongs, and place on a cooling rack set over paper towels. Cool just long enough that you can handle the tubes, then carefully twist the tube to remove the shell. Using a tea towel may help you get a better grip. Wash or wipe off the tubes, and use them for more shells. Cooled shells can be placed in an airtight container and kept for up to 2 months. You should only fill them immediately or up to 1 hours before serving.
  • To make the filling, stir together the ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar using a spoon. Fold in lemon zest and chocolate. Use a pastry bag to pipe into shells, filling from the center to one end, then doing the same from the other side. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar and grated chocolate for garnish when serving.

CANNOLI

Learn how to make cannoli with our easy-to-follow recipe. A classic Italian pastry with a crisp shell and creamy, sweet ricotta filling, it's a moreish treat

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

150g plain flour
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
large pinch bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cocoa powder (optional)
30g butter
1 egg, separated
50ml dry marsala or white wine
rapeseed oil or sunflower oil for deep-frying (see tip)
50g dark chocolate, melted
handful pistachio kernels, finely chopped
icing sugar, to dust
250g ricotta, drained and beaten until fluffy
100g mascarpone
2 tbsp finely chopped candied peel
2 tbsp icing sugar
cannoli moulds (available to buy online)

Steps:

  • Tip the flour, sugar, bicarb, cinnamon and cocoa (if using) into a bowl with a pinch of salt. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients until there are no more lumps. Mix the egg yolk and marsala and add this to the bowl, then mix the whole lot together and knead to a smooth dough. Wrap and rest in the fridge. (Can be made ahead and fried the next day.)
  • Fill a deep-fat fryer, wok or deep saucepan a third of the way up with oil. Cut the dough into pieces and, working one piece at a time, roll them out as thinly as you can - use a pasta machine if you have one. Heat the oil and keep an eye on it until it reaches 180C. Lay the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles about 11cm across. Wrap each one around a cannoli mould, using some of the egg white to stick the top edge down and they're ready for frying.It's important to take care when cooking with hot oil. Read our guide on how to deep-fry safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen.
  • Deep-fry the cannoli (with their moulds) one at a time, making sure they cook all over. They should take about 45-60 seconds in all and should be visibly golden brown (keep cooking a little longer if they aren't) and the dough will bubble and blister. Carefully take each one out of the oil using the tongs and shake the cannoli off the mould very carefully onto kitchen paper. As you fry each one, make sure the oil stays at 180C at all times and doesn't get any hotter. These will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
  • When the cannoli are cold, dip the end of each one into chocolate, then dip some of those into the pistachios. Leave to cool and harden. Beat the ricotta and mascarpone together, then stir in the candied peel and sugar. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a wide star nozzle and pipe it into the cannoli. Serve soon after filling.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the ricotta cheese. Whole milk ricotta will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the ricotta cheese is well-drained. If it's too wet, the pudding will be runny.
  • Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the ricotta cheese. This will help to remove any lumps.
  • Don't overbeat the pudding. Overbeating will make it tough.
  • Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Cannoli pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy cannoli shells, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give cannoli pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
