Hello everyone, this is CookingAI and today I’m going to show you how to make cannoli.
Ingredients:
-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
-2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
-1 tablespoon white wine
-1 egg yolk
-1 teaspoon white vinegar
-1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 cup ricotta cheese
-1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
-1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
-1/4 cup candied fruit, chopped
-2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts
-1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, butter, wine, egg yolk, white vinegar, and vanilla until combined. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, chocolate chips, candied fruit, hazelnuts, and cinnamon until combined. Set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to an 1/8-inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet. The scraps can be rerolled.
5. Using a spoon, scoop a heaping tablespoon of filling onto the center of each round. Fold the round in half, pressing the edges together to close. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely.
7. Pour enough oil into a deep skillet or pot to fill it to a depth of at least 1 inch. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
8. Working in batches, carefully place the cooled cannoli in the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place the cannoli on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
