Cannoli, baked not fried, just as delicious but a little bit healthier. Filled with a creamy Ricotta Chocolate Chip Filling, Perfect!
If you asked an Italian what their absolute favourite pastry is, without a doubt they would answer Cannoli! Cannoli originated from the South of Italy, in Sicily. Typically they are made in a tube shape, from small to extra large and deep fried. The tubes are then filled with a sweetened Ricotta filling, sometimes filled with cut up candied fruit. My daughter and her father have been asking me for ages to make Cannoli. So the other day I was at the Bakery buying bread and right in front of me was a huge tray of Cannoli.
A recipe for the dough I had, but I really didn’t want to fry them. Because let’s face it, frying is such a mess! I also thought that even if you don’t have the tubes needed for making the Classic Cannoli, you can also make your own by rolling up some foil into a similar shape! Or you could make mini tarts! Creamy Homemade Baked Cannoli, a delicious Italian Dessert Recipe, with a creamy Ricotta, chocolate chip filling. Ok so the dough was made and baked and dipped with melted chocolate and chopped nuts, so I figured the hard part was done. And this is what I did and both the Italian and his daughter were not impressed.
It tasted good, although the whipped cream flavour was too dominant, not a good thing, and it wasn’t stiff enough! I did a couple of things different, for example, I let the ricotta drain for 24 hours instead of three, then using a spatula I pushed the ricotta through a sieve, just like she said, believe me it worked perfectly, the ricotta was so creamy. I gently folded in the chocolate chips, filled up my pastry bag and filled the tarts. And they were enjoyed by all. I hope you enjoy them too! And since June 16th is National Cannoli Day why not make a few? Watch the videos and don’t forget to subscribe on Youtube!
