Cannoncini are delicious Italian pastries that are shaped like small horns or tubes. They are typically filled with a sweet and creamy filling and can be enjoyed as a delightful snack or dessert.

What ingredients do you need?

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

How do you make Cannoncini?

Follow these step-by-step instructions to master the art of making delicious Cannoncini:

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and flour until well combined. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the filling thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into strips about 1 inch wide.

Take each strip of pastry and wrap it around a metal or wooden cone-shaped mold, slightly overlapping the layers until you reach the end of the strip. Press the edges gently to seal.

Place the wrapped molds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the pastry with some beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool before carefully removing the molds.

Step 3: Fill the Cannoncini

Once the pastry tubes have cooled, it’s time to fill them with the prepared cream filling. Using a piping bag or a small spoon, carefully fill each pastry tube with the creamy filling.

If desired, you can also add a dollop of whipped cream to the open ends of the cannoncini for an extra indulgent touch.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Arrange your freshly made cannoncini on a serving platter and dust them with powdered sugar. Serve them as a delightful treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!

Now that you’ve mastered the art of making cannoncini, get creative with different fillings and decorations to personalize your sweet creations. Cannoncini are sure to impress your family and friends with their delicious taste and beautiful presentation!
