Bring a spot of Sicilian sunshine to your table with these luxurious homemade Italian desserts.

When it comes to creating mouthwatering dishes out of tubes of pastry, the Italians are the experts, hands down. Sweet or savoury, they have it covered. These cannoli are another prime example. Not to be confused with Cannelloni, they are deliciously deep fried tubes of crisp flaky pastry stuffed with a rich and creamy sweet ricotta filling that has chocolate bits swirled throughout. Very sumptuous and very moreish. This gluten free cannoli recipe adds candied fruit to the mix for an extra flavour boost. The perfect way to lighten up any dinner table.

Preparation

in 55 minutes

Preheat the oven to 175°C (top and bottom heat setting) and line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper.
Knead all the ingredients until you’ve got a consistent dough. Then wrap the dough in clingfilm and rest for approx. 20 minutes at room temperature.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is thin. Cut out squares approx. 10cmx10cm and roll around a greased cannoli mould (available in specialist stores).
Brush the dough with egg wash when turning it on the mould, so that it retains its shape better.
Fry in plenty of olive oil (or peanut oil).
For the filling: Stir the ingredients together. Place the mixture in an icing bag to fill the cannoli. Dust with icing sugar.
