Strawberry rum cannoli dessert served

Strawberry Rum Cannoli

Cannoli is one of Sicily's best-known desserts, traditionally served on festive occasions. This time, we've reimagined the classic recipe with a fresh, fruity, and adult twist: the exciting pairing of strawberries and dark rum elevates the traditional filling to a new level. The kitchen fills with a festive atmosphere as the strawberry filling slowly blends with the rum – every moment of anticipation is worth it. The secret to the perfect consistency is to drain the ricotta thoroughly and fill it cold. Never let the fruity cream stand in the dough for too long, otherwise, it will lose its crispy texture. This dessert is an excellent choice as a finale for romantic dinners or at summer gatherings. If you crave an extra flavor experience, mix a few drops of orange liqueur into the cream or grate a little lemon zest – this will make the overall effect even fruitier!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash the strawberries thoroughly, drain, and remove the stems. Dice them very finely or mash them with a fork. Smaller pieces mix well into the cream and prevent the cannoli shells from becoming soggy.

    2

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta and powdered sugar. Add the rum, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. These flavors combine to give the filling its special strawberry-rum character.

    3

    Add the diced strawberries to the ricotta mixture and gently fold them in, being careful not to crush them completely. This ensures that the strawberry pieces remain fresh and flavorful in the filling.

    4

    Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly. This will make it easier to fill the cannoli, preventing the cream from being too runny.

    5

    Fill the cannoli shells with the cream using a piping bag or spoon. Fill both ends, being careful not to overfill, as the cream may spill out.

    6

    Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish the edge of the plate with thinly sliced strawberries, if desired. It is important to fill the cannoli just before serving to maintain the crispy texture of the pastry.
