Chai latte cannoli served

Chai Latte Cannoli

Cannoli, as an Italian dessert, originates from Sicily and dates back to the 9th century when Arab conquerors brought the art of confectionery to the island. This sweet, crispy pastry roll is traditionally filled with ricotta, but the diversity of modern variations is endless. Pairing it with the spicy world of chai latte is a creative reimagining of the classic recipe, adding new dimensions to the taste experience. The kitchen fills with a warm, spicy aroma as the ricotta filling is mixed with chai spices – a true feast for the senses. The secret to chai latte cannoli is the right seasoning and well-chilled cream: if it's too warm, it's difficult to work with, if there's too little chai, the flavor character doesn't come out. Pay attention to balance, and success is guaranteed. This dessert is the perfect choice for autumn and winter afternoons, gatherings with friends, or if you want to surprise your guests with a truly special homemade sweet.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Start by preparing the filling: in a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Tip: if the ricotta is too wet, drain it in a sieve beforehand.

    2

    Add the chai spice blend, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the cream. Tip: You can make your own chai spice blend using a mixture of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg.

    3

    Transfer the cream to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off. This will help you fill the cannoli shells neatly and precisely. Tip: chill the cream for 10 minutes to make it easier to work with.

    4

    Carefully fill the cannoli shells from both ends with the chai latte flavored cream. Be careful not to press too hard, as the shell may break. Tip: keep the shells dry and don't fill them too early, otherwise they will soften.

    5

    In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with a pinch of cinnamon. Drizzle this over the filled cannoli to add extra flavor and shine.

    6

    Before serving, sprinkle the top of the cannoli with a little cinnamon and place them on a nice platter or plate. Tip: serve with freshly brewed chai latte for a special dessert experience.
