STRAWBERRY KRUMKAKE CANNOLI
This is a mashup of the crispy Norwegian rolled cookie, krumkake (which is typically unfilled), and Italian cannoli, which is typically filled with a creamy ricotta filling. They go together so deliciously, especially when strawberries are involved!

Steps:
- For the strawberry filling: Put the ricotta in a strainer over a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to drain the extra liquid.
- Meanwhile, chop the strawberries and mix with the granulated sugar. Place into a strainer over a bowl and let the strawberries sit for 4 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator to drain the excess liquid.
- Add the strained ricotta and heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk the mixture until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and whisk just until combined. Add the strained strawberries and stir by hand to incorporate.
- For the waffle cookie: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, salt, cardamom, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
- For the cannoli: Heat a krumkake iron on medium. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
- When the iron is ready, spray cooking spray lightly on both sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the batter in the center. (Use another spoon to help scoop out the batter from your tablespoon, because the batter is slightly thick.) Close the iron and cook the waffle cookies for 1 1/2 minutes. Working quickly, open the iron and immediately roll one of the waffle cookies with a non-metal spoon over a krumkake mold. Remove to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool in the mold. Repeat with the other waffle cookie. Each cookie will crisp up as it cools, about 2 minutes. Gently slide the waffle cookie off the krumkake mold and repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the chocolate sauce: Fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a heat resistant bowl into the pot. (The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water.) The steam will heat and melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil to the bowl and stir to melt.
- Working quickly, dip the larger end of a waffle cookie in the chocolate and return the cookie to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Place the tray of cookies into the fridge or freezer to quickly cool, approximately 10 minutes.
- Snip the end of a piping bag, then place it into a tall glass and fold the top of the bag over the lip of the glass. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the strawberry filling into the piping bag. Twist the top to close.
- Taking one waffle cookie at a time, pipe the strawberry filling into the cone. Sprinkle with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Repeat with the remaining waffle cookies. Serve.
STRAWBERRY FILLED CANNOLI
Steps:
- In a mixer, whip the mousse and milk on high speed until the mouse is thickened. Finely chop 4 of the strawberries, and add them to the mousse. Blend for 1 more minute and refrigerate for a least an hour.
- Spoon mousse mixture into a piping bag. Pipe the cannoli shells full of the mousse. Make a design on the serving plate with the chocolate syrup. Slice the remaining strawberries, and place around the plate with the blackberries. Place the cannolis in the middle of the plate. Garnish with powdered sugar.
SPARKLY STRAWBERRY CHURROS
A churro is a long, skinny donut from Spanish, Mexican and Portuguese cuisines. I love them for their crispy, crunchy texture on the outside and chewy, dense texture on the inside. They are typically covered in cinnamon-sugar, but this version gets a coating of strawberry sugar so that they're pink and fruity.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat to 365 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, add the sugar, strawberries and scraped vanilla seeds. Process until the strawberries are ground into a fine powder. Remove 1/4 cup of the strawberry sugar and pour the remaining on a plate. Add the pink sanding sugar to the mixture on the plate. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter, coconut oil, vanilla bean pod, salt, reserved strawberry sugar and 1 cup water. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and discard. Add the flour all at once. Using a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the water until fully incorporated and a sticky dough ball forms. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir to toast the flour and cook off any residual moisture, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and stir to release some steam. Allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Using a hand mixer, beat in the egg on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
- Add the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large closed-star tip.
- Pipe 3 to 4 inches of the dough into the hot oil, cutting the dough with kitchen shears. Repeat to fry 3 churros at a time, turning occasionally, until crispy and deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove the churros to the wire rack to drain of excess oil. Cool slightly, 1 to 2 minutes, then roll the hot churros in the strawberry sugar to coat. Continue frying the churros with the remaining batter and coating in the strawberry sugar.
Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
- If you don't have a krumkake iron, you can use a waffle iron instead. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Feel free to get creative with your filling. You could use any type of fruit or even chocolate chips.
- If you're short on time, you can make the cannoli shells ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- The cannoli can also be filled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
