Italian Dolce: Fig Cannoli Recipe

Italian Dolce: Fig Cannoli Recipe (worldmarket.com)

Cannoli Shells

Fig Compote

2 cups chopped figs (6 to 8 large figs)

1/2 cup sugar

2 tbsp balsamic glaze

1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

Cannoli Cream

2 cups whole milk ricotta, drained (see directions)

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp allspice

pinch of ground pepper

zest of 1 orange

1/4 cup heavy cream

Drain the ricotta in a strainer lined with cheese cloth over a bowl, drain at least 1 hour. While the ricotta is draining start the fig compote.

In a small sauce pan, mix the chopped figs, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Simmer on low until the figs are very soft and the mixture thickens like jam. Chill in refrigerator until cannoli cream is ready.

Whisk the ricotta in a bowl until smooth, and the powdered sugar, spices, and orange zest, whisk until combined. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and gently fold the cream into the ricotta mixture.

Chill filling for 1 hour. Once the cream has chilled and you are ready to fill and serve the cannoli, gently swirl the fig compote into the cream.

Fill the cannoli shells using a pastry bag, filling from both ends.
