Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

For "cannoli" shells
about twenty 6-inch squares parchment paper
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted and cooled
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon milk
four 3 1/2- to 4-inch-long cannoli forms (each about 5/8 inch in diameter)
For filling
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
4 tablespoons bottled Key lime juice or 5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup mascarpone cheese (about 1/2 pound)
Mango Sauce
Accompaniments: fresh raspberries
sliced carambola (star fruit) if desired

Steps:

  • Make "cannoli" shells:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and lightly grease a heavy baking sheet.
  • Arrange 4 parchment squares on baking sheet. (Oil or butter makes parchment squares stick to baking sheet).
  • In a food processor blend together coconut and flour until coconut is ground fine. Add butter, sugars, and milk and blend until dough forms a ball, about 10 seconds. Spoon a well-rounded teaspoon of dough onto each of the 4 parchment squares and with slightly wet fingertips evenly pat into 2 inch rounds.
  • Bake cookies in middle of oven until very thin and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer cookies (still on parchment) to a rack and let stand until just firm enough to hold their shape, 30 to 45 seconds. Working with 1 cookie at a time and using parchment as an aid, quickly roll cookie around a cannoli form to make a cylinder. (If cookies become too firm to roll, return them on parchment on baking sheet to oven 1 minute to soften.) Cool formed cookies or a rack before removing cannoli form. Make more cookies in same manner with remaining dough, baking and forming cookies in batches of 4 and allowing baking sheet to cool completely between each batch. Cookies are fragile. Cookies keep in one layer in an airtight container at room temperature 4 days.
  • Make filling:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese with sugar, zest, and lime juice until smooth and beat in mascarpone. Chill filling, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Assemble dessert:
  • Whisk filling and transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain or decorative tip. Carefully pipe filling into both ends of 12 cookies. Pour about 1/4 cup mango sauce onto each of 6 dessert plates, tilting plate to distribute sauce evenly, and top with 2 "cannoli," raspberries, and carambola slices.

The cannoli were delicious, but the mango sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using a different sauce, such as a raspberry or strawberry sauce.
