Cannoli Sicilian ...

It seems that this long-awaited spring has finally arrived ... The flowers arrived and those, finally.

The garden is beautiful! The peach, apricot, plum, were stained again and after a winter so heavy and strong emotion.

Speaking of spring, came to my mind the smells, the colors, sounds and warmth of a land that I can not wait too long: Sicily.

waiting to come back (hopefully as soon as possible) to pay homage by posting the recipe for these wonderful desserts that will contain a little soul. ..

Good day to you all!

zest

INGREDIENTS

250 g flour 00 g butter, softened 15

13 g sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon

cocoa

red wine to taste (or marsala)

taste peanut oil for frying

PREPARATION

Work the flour and cocoa sifted together with the butter and sugar, add 1 egg and wine, and knead until dough is smooth and firm similar to the pasta egg. Impellicolate and let stand to cool for about 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough with the rolling pin or with the help of the machine body (one for pasta) to obtain a very thin pastry. With a pasta bowl, cut out circles of 12 cm in diameter, each circle wrap around a cannoli torch, seal it with a brush stroke of the remaining egg and fry in hot oil. When the peels are warm, earcup from the torch and set aside.

filling

INGREDIENTS 500 g ricotta

100 g sugar

taste of orange blossom water to taste chocolate chips

candied taste (optional)

taste chopped pistachios (unsalted! )

preparations

Let the ricotta drain for a few hours setacciatela and stir in sugar, orange flower water, chocolate chips and (possibly) the candied fruit.

how to assemble the cake ...

Put the filling of cottage cheese in a pastry bag. Fill each skin with the necessary amount of filling and dip the ends of each cannoli in the pistachios. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

NB: You need only fill the cannoli when otherwise serve the zest will lose its crispness ...

But if you want a few hours before packing them, I reveal the trick to make them look just the facts: melt some white chocolate in microwave or double boiler and a finger foderatevi the inside of the cannoli. When chocolate is dry, you will have a transparent and waterproof coating that will prevent the filling to make "ammosciare" your peel.
