canolis recipe
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
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
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.
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.
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.
