Kitchen and Usage Tips:
Traditionally, cannoli are stuffed with a sweet creamy ricotta filling, but these fried pastry shells are an invitation to creativity. Create seasonal cannoli with filling flavors like pumpkin, festive peppermint and lemon. Decorate them with colorful sprinkles, chocolate chips and crushed nuts. For chocolate-dipped cannoli, dip both ends of pastry shells in melted chocolate. Allow chocolate to cool and harden before filling.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are mini cannoli shells?
Mini cannoli shells are tube-shaped pastries that are rolled by-hand and deep fried to a crisp golden brown. These tubes are meant to be stuffed with sweet ricotta fillings. Cannoli began in Palermo, Italy, during the celebration of Carnival. The word cannolo means “little tube” in Italian, referring to this pastry’s tube-like shape.
What are cannoli shells made of?
Cannoli shells are a fried pastry dough made with flour, eggs, sugar and a hint of cinnamon.
How do I keep cannoli shells from getting soggy?
Cannoli shells can get soggy for a number of reasons. First, make sure you drain the ricotta before using it to create the filling. Filling shouldn’t be runny. To avoid soggy cannoli shells, you also want to make sure to fill your cannoli shells soon before serving. If you fill them and let them sit, the filling will soak into the crispy shell creating a soft cannoli shell.
