Ingredients
For the Cannoli:
- 8-10 cannoli pasta tubes
- Oil (for frying)
For the Filling:
- 300g creamed cheese or mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup icing sugar (or 1/3 cup golden syrup)
- 1 tbsp Lifestyle Food Gold Roast Premium Instant Coffee
- Icing sugar (for dusting, to serve)
Method:
- Heat the oil in a deep pan. Once the oil is hot, fry the cannoli pasta tubes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamed cheese (or mascarpone), icing sugar (or golden syrup), freeze-dried coffee, and a dash of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Scoop the coffee filling into a piping bag and carefully fill each fried pasta tube with the filling. Allow the filled cannoli to chill for a few minutes.
- Before serving, dust the cannoli with a light sprinkling of icing sugar for a perfect finishing touch. Enjoy this deliciously creamy and crispy dessert!
This Coffee Cannoli recipe is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining the rich flavour of coffee with the creamy filling and crispy pastry. Whether you’re a coffee lover or just looking for a decadent dessert, these will be a hit at any gathering or special occasion.
