Cannoli are a traditional Sicilian pastry filled with ricotta, which is also the base of Sicily’s famous cassata dessert.
Ingredients for the shell: 300 grams of sieved flour, 10 grams of caster sugar, half a glass of Marsala fortified wine, a pinch of salt, icing sugar and olive oil.
Ingredients for the filling: 500 grams of fresh ricotta, 200 grams of icing sugar, 100 grams of cubed candied fruit, 100 grams of dark chocolate flakes, one tiny packet of vanilla powder (less than a teaspoon), a pinch of powdered cinnamon, milk as needed.
To prepare the shells, you need to place the sifted flour in a little mountain, make a crater and pour in the Marsala.
Add the sugar and a pinch of salt, and knead until you get a consistent, almost solid mixture.
Form a large ball, wrap in a cloth and leave to rest for two hours.
After resting, roll out the pastry to a maximum of four millimetres thick and cut into rectangles of 10 cm down one side.
Using a metal cylinder to form the shape, roll each rectangle from one opposite corner to the other to create a hollow shell.
Heat the oil in a pan and place each shell in the pan, tossing them until well cooked, and allowing the oil to drain off a little at the end of the cooking.
You’re now ready to fill the cannoli.
Create the filling by mixing the ricotta, icing sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, candied fruit, chocolate and a couple of drops of milk together.
Fill the canoli and dust with a little icing sugar as a finishing touch.
A sweet Marsala is probably the best food-wine match with your canoli.
