Plum and rum cannoli

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The marriage of plum and rum is an old classic in confectionery, just think of plum cakes or red wine plum jam. In this cannoli, the acidity of the plum cuts through the richness of the ricotta, whilst the rum highlights the deep, spicy aromas of the fruit. It's as if we've enclosed autumn in a crispy pastry cylinder.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preparing plums: Cut the plums into very small, 2-3 mm cubes (brunoise). Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning, and place in a sieve to let excess juice drip out.

Tip: Large pieces of plum make piping difficult and make the cream 'lumpy'.
2 ✓

Ricotta cream: Mix the drained ricotta until smooth with the icing sugar, vanilla and rum.

Tip: Alcohol (rum) acts as a solvent, helping to release and distribute aromas in the fat.
3 ✓

Mixing: Fold the plum cubes into the cream. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Tip: Cold cream is more stable.
4 ✓

Filling: Fill the cannoli with the cream.

Tip: Fill only before serving, as the moisture from the plums quickly softens the pastry.
5 ✓

Serving: Dust with icing sugar.

Tip: You can garnish with a slice of fresh plum at the end.

Recipe FAQ

The plum released too much juice.
Sugar draws water from fruit via osmosis. Either drain the plums before mixing, or mix into the cream just before serving.
Can I use frozen plums?
Only if you defrost completely and drain very thoroughly. Frozen fruit cell walls are damaged, so they release much more juice.
