Cannoli Shells

Filling

Method

Cannoli Shells Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the unsalted butter (softened), egg, and white wine to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roll Out and Shape

    After resting, divide the dough into smaller pieces. Roll out each piece thinly and cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shells

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Wrap each dough circle around a cannoli tube. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Blend Filling Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine mortadella, ricotta cheese, chopped pistachios, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 7

    Fill the Shells

    Once the cannoli shells are cool, carefully remove them from the tubes. Use a piping bag to fill each shell with the mortadella mixture.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Add Final Touches

    Sprinkle the filled cannolis with crushed pistachios and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
