Pomegranate-marzipan cannoli served

Pomegranate-Marzipan Cannoli

The refreshing tartness of pomegranate and the distinctive sweetness of marzipan create a wonderful contrast – in this recipe, the two worlds meet: eastern fruitiness and classic European pastry. This makes the cannoli filling not only delicious but also visually appealing. As the crunchy pomegranate seeds burst in the soft, almond filling, every bite is a surprise – a perfect dessert for the festive season. It is important to use high-quality marzipan that is not too hard or overly sweetened. Fold the pomegranate seeds into the cream just before serving so that they do not release color and retain their texture. This cannoli is ideal for a Christmas table, winter entertaining or any elegant occasion - its taste and appearance will be a real highlight of the celebration.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. Tip: If the ricotta is too wet, drain it through cheesecloth to make it creamier.

    2

    Add the grated marzipan and orange zest, then mix thoroughly. Tip: The orange zest adds freshness to balance the richness of the marzipan.

    3

    Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds, being careful not to crush them. Tip: Use fresh, ripe pomegranate for the best results.

    4

    Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and chill for 15–20 minutes. Tip: Cold cream is easier to handle and won't soak the crispy shells.

    5

    Fill the cannoli shells with the cream from both ends. Tip: Fill just before serving to keep the shells crispy.

    6

    Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with a few pomegranate seeds on top. Tip: Avoid using leaves or other green decorations – the color and shape of the seeds are enough.
