SAVORY CANNOLI: original and truly tasty!
published on 30 December, 2025 at 12:00
INGREDIENTS
For the cannoli:
260g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
30g butter (soft)
A pinch of salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vinegar
50ml (1/4 cup) Marsala
1 egg (for brushing)
For the filling:
600g (2 1/2 cups) ricotta
200g mortadella
Nutmeg
Salt
For frying:
Oil for frying
For decoration:
Pistachio crumbs
METHOD
1. In a bowl, add the flour, butter, salt, eggs, vinegar, and Marsala. Mix until the dough starts to form. Knead with your hands until you obtain a compact dough. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. In another bowl, combine the ricotta, mortadella, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
3. After the resting time, transfer the dough to a working surface and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll out each part to obtain a thin sheet of dough. Using a 10 cm diameter pastry cutter, cut out many small discs.
4. Wrap the prepared discs around the steel cannoli molds. Brush the edges with a little egg and press lightly with your fingers to seal the dough.
5. Heat oil in a pan and fry the cannoli until golden brown on all sides. Remove the steel molds.
6. Transfer the ricotta mixture into a piping bag and fill the cannoli. Garnish the ends with pistachio crumbs. Serve them all together on a serving dish and enjoy.
