Best Strawberry Cannoli Recipes

STRAWBERRY KRUMKAKE CANNOLI

Steps:

• For the strawberry filling: Put the ricotta in a strainer over a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to drain the extra liquid.
• Meanwhile, chop the strawberries and mix with the granulated sugar. Place into a strainer over a bowl and let the strawberries sit for 4 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator to drain the excess liquid.
• Add the strained ricotta and heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk the mixture until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and whisk just until combined. Add the strained strawberries and stir by hand to incorporate.
• For the waffle cookie: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, salt, cardamom, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
• For the cannoli: Heat a krumkake iron on medium. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• When the iron is ready, spray cooking spray lightly on both sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the batter in the center. (Use another spoon to help scoop out the batter from your tablespoon, because the batter is slightly thick.) Close the iron and cook the waffle cookies for 1 1/2 minutes. Working quickly, open the iron and immediately roll one of the waffle cookies with a non-metal spoon over a krumkake mold. Remove to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool in the mold. Repeat with the other waffle cookie. Each cookie will crisp up as it cools, about 2 minutes. Gently slide the waffle cookie off the krumkake mold and repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the chocolate sauce: Fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a heat resistant bowl into the pot. (The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water.) The steam will heat and melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil to the bowl and stir to melt.
• Working quickly, dip the larger end of a waffle cookie in the chocolate and return the cookie to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Place the tray of cookies into the fridge or freezer to quickly cool, approximately 10 minutes.
• Snip the end of a piping bag, then place it into a tall glass and fold the top of the bag over the lip of the glass. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the strawberry filling into the piping bag. Twist the top to close.
• Taking one waffle cookie at a time, pipe the strawberry filling into the cone. Sprinkle with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Repeat with the remaining waffle cookies. Serve.

• At least 1 day before serving, proceed through Step 3. Line a colander and a medium-size strainer with a sturdy paper towel; set each in a bowl.
• Pulse strawberries and granulated sugar in food processor until coarsely chopped. Scrape into colander, top with a paper towel and refrigerate overnight to drain well (this is important). Clean processor.
• Put ricotta, cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in processor; pulse until smooth. Transfer to strainer, cover with a paper towel and refrigerate overnight.
• Just before serving: Prop cones upright in tall glasses partially filled with granulated sugar to support cones. Fold drained berries and 1/4 teaspoons almond extract into ricotta mixture. Spoon into a gallon-size ziptop bag. Cut 1/2 inches off a corner; pipe filling into cones and garnish.

STRAWBERRY FILLED CANNOLI

Steps:

• In a mixer, whip the mousse and milk on high speed until the mouse is thickened. Finely chop 4 of the strawberries, and add them to the mousse. Blend for 1 more minute and refrigerate for a least an hour.
• Spoon mousse mixture into a piping bag. Pipe the cannoli shells full of the mousse. Make a design on the serving plate with the chocolate syrup. Slice the remaining strawberries, and place around the plate with the blackberries. Place the cannolis in the middle of the plate. Garnish with powdered sugar.

STRAWBERRY CANNOLI PARFAITS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries and amaretto. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• 2. In a large bow, whip the cream with the confectioner's sugar until soft peaks form. In a medium bowl, stir half of the whipped cream into the ricotta to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream and cinnamon. Fold the 1/4 cup chocolate chips and the pistachios into the cream mixture.
• 3. Place a layer of crushed amaretti cookies in each of the 4 parfait glasses. Top each with a layer of cannoli cream and then strawberry slices. Repeat layering. If desired, top with additional miniature chocolate chips.
