Sicilian cannoli ingredients with thermomix
200 grams of flour
80 grams of sherry wine or Sicilian Marsala wine
30 grams of sugar
40 grams of virgin olive oil
For the filling:
500 grams of ricotta cheese
80 grams of finely grated chocolate
150 grams sugar
4 strips of orange peel
Preparation of Sicilian cannoli with thermomix
to start we are going to make the cannoli dough, so we put the sugar, flour, olive oil and wine and a pinch of salt in our Thermomix bowl and knead
30 seconds / speed 6
We take out the dough and make balls of about 15 grams (about 20 will come out)
Then we prepare a casserole with plenty of oil where we will fry the cannoli
with the cannoli rollers (if you do not have at the end of the article we will put some links where you can buy some very cheap stainless steel ones)
we will spread the balls to create the cannoli
put a little flour before on the table to work the dough well
the cannoli should be with a very thin dough
we roll the dough in the tubes and seal it with a little water and fry them with the tube on,
at the end we take them out very carefully not to burn ourselves with the help of some object and let them cool on a blotting paper to remove excess fat
Cannoli filling
Although with cream or pastry cream they are great, the Sicilian recipe has its characteristic filling with an Italian ricotta cheese, so let’s go with the original
We start by pulverizing the sugar
30 seconds / speed 8
We take a little of the sugar to later decorate our cannoli on top, the rest we leave in the glass
add the orange peel strips and program
30 seconds / speed 8
then we put the ricotta cheese and the chocolate and stir everything very well this time with the spatula
to fill our cannoli we will use a pastry bag and fill them on both sides
sprinkle on top with the powdered sugar that we had reserved
we place them in a fountain and our cannoli will be ready
