Chocolate mint cannoli served

Chocolate Mint Cannoli

The combination of chocolate and mint brings together freshness and rich flavor - this pairing works perfectly not only in lollipops and hot drinks, but also in a creamy Italian dessert. Chocolate mint cannoli adds a new dimension to the classic filled pastry. As the mint ricotta cream melts together with the chocolate chips, the freshness and sweetness of the aromas create a perfect balance - like a bite of summer. For the perfect result, use fresh mint leaves and good quality dark chocolate. Mint not only refreshes, but also provides a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the cream. This special cannoli is an ideal choice on warm summer days, as a dessert for festive gatherings, or even to crown a light dinner.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Tip: If the ricotta is too wet, drain it to create a creamier, more stable filling.

    2

    Add the finely chopped dark chocolate and fresh chopped mint. Mix thoroughly. Tip: Chop the mint leaves with a knife instead of blending them to prevent them from becoming mushy.

    3

    Transfer the cream to a piping bag and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up slightly. Tip: Cold cream is easier to pipe and holds its shape better.

    4

    Fill the cannoli shells with the chilled chocolate mint cream from both ends. Tip: Always fill the cannoli just before serving to keep the shells crisp.

    5

    Dust the tops with powdered sugar and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for garnish. Tip: Grated chocolate or chocolate chips can also be used for decoration.

    6

    Serve on a rustic ceramic platter as a dessert after a summer dinner or for special occasions. Tip: It pairs well with a glass of mint iced tea or an espresso.
