canolis recipe

FOR THE FILLING:

1 (16-oz.) container ricotta 

1/2 c. mascarpone cheese

1/2 c. powdered sugar, divided into two 1/4 cups

3/4 c. heavy cream 

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 tsp. orange zest

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 c. mini chocolate chips, for garnish 

FOR THE SHELLS:

2 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface

1/4 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

4 tbsp. cold butter, cut into cubes

6 tbsp. white wine

1 large egg

1 egg white, for brushing

DIRECTIONS:
MAKE FILLING:
  • Drain ricotta by placing it a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl. Let drain in refrigerator for at least an hour.

  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat heavy cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar to stiff peaks.

  • In another large bowl, combine ricotta, mascarpone, remaining powdered sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt. Fold in whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to fill cannoli, at least 1 hour.

MAKE SHELLS:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Cut butter into mixture with your hands or pastry cutter until pea-sized. Add wine and egg and mix until a dough forms.

  • Knead a few times in bowl to help dough come together. Pat into a flat circle, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

  • On a lightly floured surface, divide dough in half. Roll one half out to ⅛” thick. Use a 4” circle cookie cutter to cut out dough. Repeat with remaining dough. Re-roll scraps to cut a few extra circles. 

  • Wrap dough around cannoli molds (or just folded-and-rolled sheets of aluminum foil) and brush egg whites where the dough will meet to seal together. 

AIR FRYER:
  • Working in batches, place molds in basket of air fryer and cook at 350° for 12 minutes, or until golden. 

  • When cool enough to handle or using a kitchen towel to hold, gently remove twist shells off of molds. 

  • Place filling in a pastry bag fitted with an open star tip. Pipe filling into shells, dip ends in mini chocolate chips, and finally dust with powdered sugar.
