Are you eager to try your hand at making delicious, authentic Italian cannoncini but don’t have a mold? Fear not! With our step-by-step guide, you can create these delectable treats without a mold. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

In a separate bowl, beat one egg and vanilla extract together. Gradually pour the beaten egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until smooth.

Step 2: Shaping the Cannoncini

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin strip, about 1/4 inch in diameter. Hold one end of the strip and twist it gently, creating a spiral shape. Carefully wrap the twisted strip around a metal cone-shaped object, such as a large-sized metal piping tip or wooden dowel.

Step 3: Baking

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped cannoncini on the sheet, leaving some space between each piece. Beat the remaining egg and brush it lightly over the cannoncini to promote browning.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cannoncini for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before removing from the molds.

Step 4: Filling the Cannoncini

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Push the tip into one end of each cooled cannoncini and fill them with the whipped cream, ensuring they are completely filled.

Step 5: Presentation

Dust the cannoncini with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance. Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of coffee or tea.

Creating cannoncini without a mold may require some additional effort, but the incredible taste and satisfaction of making them from scratch are well worth it. With this step-by-step guide, you can now make authentic Italian cannoncini at home and impress your friends and family. Buon appetito!
