Nutella cannoli served

Nutella Cannoli

Nutella, the iconic hazelnut spread, first appeared in Italy in 1964 and has since become a staple in breakfasts and desserts worldwide. Cannoli - as a sweet of Sicilian origin - is the perfect base for creamy fillings, so it is no wonder that the Nutella version quickly became popular. Nutella cannoli is a great fit for family celebrations, birthdays, or simply as a weekend dessert. The mascarpone softens the sweetness of the hazelnut cream, and the crispy shell adds a pleasant contrast. Tip: you can flavor the cream with a little orange zest or cinnamon to make it even more special. The cannoli shells can be fried in advance, but only fill them before serving so that the dough does not get soggy.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the softened butter, egg, and dry white wine. Knead until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    2

    Meanwhile, prepare the filling: in a bowl, combine the Nutella, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.

    3

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough thinly. Cut into 10x10 cm (approximately 4x4 inch) squares. Wrap each square around a metal cannoli form. Moisten the edges with water and press firmly to seal, preventing them from opening during frying.

    4

    Heat the oil in a deep pot to 350°F (180°C). Fry 2-3 cannoli at a time until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, carefully slide them off the forms.

    5

    Using a piping bag, fill the completely cooled shells with the Nutella cream. Fill from both ends to ensure the inside is completely filled. Do not let them sit for too long, as the shell will lose its crispness.

    6

    Dust with a little powdered sugar before serving. The silky and rich flavor of the Nutella cream does not require extra decoration. Serve immediately to maintain the perfect texture and flavor.
