Cannoli, the popular Italian pastry, is a delicacy loved by many. Traditionally, cannoli are made with a sweet, crispy shell filled with a creamy ricotta filling. However, if you’re looking to make a slightly different version of this classic treat, why not try using puff pastry? The light and flaky texture of puff pastry adds a unique twist to this beloved dessert. In this article, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of making cannoli with puff pastry, ensuring a delightful treat for your taste buds.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 package of puff pastry sheets
  • 1 cup of ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Oil, for frying
  • Cannoli molds or aluminum foil

Preparation:

1. Start by thawing the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, preheat your oven to the recommended temperature.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

3. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips into the ricotta mixture.

4. Next, unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into even strips, about 2-3 inches wide.

5. Wrap the puff pastry strips around the cannoli molds or aluminum foil, overlapping the edges slightly, and pressing to seal.

6. Brush the pastry with beaten egg to give it a golden and shiny appearance.

7. Bake the pastry in the preheated oven according to the package instructions, usually until it turns golden and puffy.

8. Once the puff pastry shells have cooled down and become crispy, carefully remove them from the molds or foil.

9. Fill a piping bag with the prepared ricotta filling and slowly pipe it into each end of the cannoli shell. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to fill the shells.

10. Repeat the process with the remaining pastry strips and filling until you have made the desired number of cannoli.

11. In a deep frying pan, heat oil for frying the cannoli. Gently place the filled cannoli in the hot oil and fry until golden brown.

12. Once fried, remove the cannoli from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

13. Allow the cannoli to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
