🔸 Ingredients:
For the shells:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 2 tbsp butter (cold and cubed)
• 1 egg yolk
• ½ cup white wine or water (as needed)
• Oil for frying
For the filling:
• 1 cup ricotta cheese (drained)
• ½ cup mascarpone (optional for creaminess)
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup melted chocolate or Nutella
• Chopped nuts or chocolate chips for garnish
🔸 Directions:
1️⃣ Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and wine; knead into a smooth dough.
2️⃣ Roll the dough thinly and cut into circles. Wrap each around a metal cannoli tube and seal the edges with a bit of egg white.
3️⃣ Fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Let cool before removing the tubes.
4️⃣ For the filling, mix ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
5️⃣ Pipe the cream into both ends of each shell. Dip one side in melted chocolate.
6️⃣ Garnish with nuts, drizzle more chocolate on top, and dust with powdered sugar.
7️⃣ Serve chilled for that perfect crunch-meets-cream bite 🤍🍫
💡 Tip: Use Nutella or chocolate cream on one side and ricotta on the other for a sweet surprise in every bite!
