CAKE AND CANNOLI CUSTARD CREAM FILLING



Cake and Cannoli Custard Cream Filling image

very good cream filling.. Note: I also made this with using only 250 ml of Nurti Whip and it turns out a little heavier but is great believe me..this is a three for one recipe here..as you can also use the filling without the nutri whip too with good tasting results. Use this filling for tarts, cream puffs, or cakes and although not a traditional cannoli filling its great in those too. Nutri Whip is a Canadian Product, it is similar to Rich's Ready to Whip Topping. It is liquid and needs to be beaten just like whipping cream, without sugar added.

Time 25m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons white sugar
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (106 g) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 (500 ml) container nutri whipped topping
1 dash salt

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, flour and salt in a pot.
  • Whisk to combine well.
  • Add milk gradually to get no lumps.
  • Stir over medium heat until it thickens and comes to a low boil, about 10 minutes.
  • Beat yolks in a bowl.
  • Add some hot mixture into the bowl just a little to bring to a warm temperature.
  • Add all back into the pot of mixture on the stove and continue to low cook until thick, do not boil.
  • Remove and blend in the vanilla and pkg of dry pudding mix.
  • Stir well until blended.
  • Cool two hours, covered with saran (not to get a skin on top) or until cold.
  • Beat nutri whip and then fold into the cold custard.
  • Blending well, the cold mixture is hard to fold in( as it has set to a thick custard) so using beaters low speed is also good results.
  • Fill cannoli-- or filling and topping for cakes.this should be stored in the refrigerator, because of the Nutri whip topping.
  • I have never made this with reg. whipping cream, always Nurti Whip.

CANNOLI



Cannoli image

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.

CLASSIC CANNOLI



Classic Cannoli image

True to its Sicilian roots, our cannoli are filled with fresh ricotta, instead of the custard and cream that define American versions. Cinnamon-infused dough for the shells is rolled with a pasta maker (another nod to the old country) and then lightly fried and dipped in chocolate and pistachios. The result? A dessert that is delizioso.

Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 3/4 cups (22 ounces) fresh ricotta cheese
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup sweet Marsala wine
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent cacao)
1/2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Line a sieve with a layer of cheesecloth, and set over a bowl. Spoon ricotta into sieve. Cover, and let drain in the refrigerator overnight.
  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat ricotta and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Beat in chocolate chips, vanilla, zest, and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
  • Make the shells: Combine flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add Marsala and oil, and beat on medium speed until dough comes together. Using your hands, knead dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Wrap in plastic, and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces. Pass 1 piece of dough through the widest setting of a pasta machine (keep remaining pieces covered). Continue passing through narrower settings until it is the thickness of a dime. Lay on a floured work surface. Cut out rounds with a 3 1/4-inch cutter. Gather scraps and reroll.
  • Pour enough oil into a large, heavy saucepan to come about 4 inches up sides. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 380 degrees.
  • Wrap each round of dough around a 3 3/4-inch-long cannoli form, sealing with a dab of egg white. Working in batches of 3 or 4, fry until golden, about 1 minute. Using a wire skimmer or tongs, transfer to paper towels, and let cool 5 minutes. Carefully slide out forms, and let shells cool. Continue rolling, cutting, and frying the remaining dough.
  • Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Dip one end of each cannoli shell into chocolate and then into pistachios. Let set 15 minutes on parchment paper.
  • Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip (such as Ateco #826). Pipe filling into one end of a shell to the center, then into other end. Repeat with remaining shells and filling. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.

HOMEMADE CANNOLI



Homemade Cannoli image

I love a cup of seriously strong coffee and a cannoli from an Italian bakery on Bleeker Street in Manhattan. When I am making these at home, I am holding them up to the standard of those memories. The dessert really comes together in two parts: make the shell, thin and crispy and then make a filling with serious flavor.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cannoli

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups ricotta cheese, preferably whole milk
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup small semisweet chocolate chips
1 lemon
1 quart canola oil, for frying
Flour, for rolling
1 egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the shell dough: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Work the butter pieces into the flour with your fingers until the mixture becomes coarse and sandy. Add the egg yolk and the white wine and mix until it becomes a smooth dough. Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and place the dough in the center. Wrap the plastic loosely around it and press the dough to fill the gap. Flattening the dough will mean less rolling later. Let it rest in the fridge for a few minutes while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the ricotta until smooth. Sift in the powdered sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Mix to blend. In a separate bowl (or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat the heavy cream until fairly stiff. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the cream into the ricotta mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Lightly zest the exterior of the lemon and stir it into the ricotta. Refrigerate for a half hour to an hour.
  • To roll and fry the shells: In a medium pot with a heavy bottom, heat the canola oil to 360 degrees F. Meanwhile, sift an even layer of flour on a flat surface. Flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough until it is very thin (about 1/8-inch thick). Cut the dough into fourths and work in small batches. Use any glass or small bowl that has a 3-to-4-inch diameter. Cut rounds, tracing around each one to assure the dough has been fully cut. You should have about 24 circles. Wrap each circle around a cannoli mold. Use a little of the egg wash on the edge of each round to seal it shut and to assure it won't slide or fall off the mold before pressing it closed over the mold. Flare the edges out slightly from the mold. Flaring will allow the oil to penetrate each cannoli shell as they fry. Use a pair of tongs to hold the edge of the mold as you submerge and fry the shell in the oil until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil, and holding the mold in one had with your tongs, gently grip the shell in your other hand with a kitchen towel and carefully slide it off the mold. Set aside to cool. Repeat with all of the circles.
  • To fill the cannolis: Just before serving, use a pastry bag without a tip to pipe the ricotta into the cannoli molds. Fill the cannoli shells from both ends so the cream runs through the whole shell. Dust with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar gives that little extra sweetness and added texture to the exterior. It also makes me feel like I have a professional bakery touch in my own home. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vanilla beans. The better the vanilla beans, the better the custard will taste. Look for beans that are plump, moist, and dark brown in color.
  • Split the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. This will release the most flavor from the beans.
  • Use whole milk and heavy cream. These ingredients will give the custard a rich and creamy texture.
  • Do not overcook the custard. Overcooked custard will be thick and rubbery. Cook the custard until it has just thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Strain the custard. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Cover the custard with plastic wrap. This will prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the custard.
  • Refrigerate the custard for at least 4 hours before using. This will allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Vanilla chocolate custard is a delicious and versatile filling that can be used in a variety of desserts, from cannoli to éclairs to tarts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect vanilla chocolate custard that will impress your friends and family.
