The Sicilian classic, with pistachio cream in the ricotta filling.
Cannoli are one of the symbols of Sicilian pastry. Making the shells at home takes time and a deep fryer, so in this version we use ready-made cannoli shells from a good pastry shop and focus on the filling: fresh ricotta, sugar and Scyavuru Pistachio Cream 45%.
Fill the shells just before serving, so they stay crisp.
Ingredients (8 cannoli)
- 8 ready-made cannoli shells
- 500 g fresh sheep's milk ricotta (or cow's milk ricotta)
- 80 g icing sugar
- 120 g Scyavuru Pistachio Cream 45%
- 50 g chopped pistachios
- Candied orange peel (optional)
Preparation
-
1. Drain the ricotta
Leave the ricotta in a fine sieve in the fridge for a few hours, ideally overnight, so the filling is thick and does not soften the shells.
-
2. Make the cream
Press the ricotta through the sieve, mix it with the icing sugar, then fold in the pistachio cream until smooth. Chill for 30 minutes.
-
3. Fill
Put the cream in a piping bag and fill each shell from both ends.
-
4. Finish
Dip the ends in chopped pistachios, add a piece of candied orange peel if you like, dust with icing sugar and serve straight away.
