Sicilian Cannoli Recipe | How to Make Traditional Cannoli Siciliani image

Sicilian Cannoli are the most famous dessert of the Sicilian tradition. They are a greedy pleasure, which combines the crunchiness of the cannolo with the creaminess of the ricotta. Ricotta cream is made with sheep's milk ricotta because it is less watery and sloppy and is almost always enriched with pieces of chocolate and the finished cannoli are often garnished with chopped pistachios, chocolate flakes or candied fruit.

Time 4h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds sheep's milk ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup mixed peel
1 ½ ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons dry Marsala wine, or more to taste
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar, or more to taste
corn oil for frying
3 tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Beat ricotta cheese and 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in mixed peel and chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Mix flour, Marsala wine, butter, sugar, and vinegar together in a bowl to make cannoli dough. Wrap in plastic wrap; let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Knead dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth. Roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into twenty 4-inch squares. Wrap each square around a metal tubular mold, overlapping ends and dabbing with warm water to seal.
