If you don't have time to knead dough and deep-fry, but crave the Sicilian vibe, this recipe is your saviour. Using ready-made cannoli shells (now available in many delis), the focus shifts to the filling. The nutty flavour and crunch of toasted almonds perfectly complement the soft, coffee-cream character of Baileys. This is a 'cheat' recipe that lets you impress guests in 20 minutes.

Instructions

1 ✓

The most important step: place the ricotta in a sieve and let it drain for at least 20 minutes, or squeeze out the excess whey through a clean tea towel.

Tip: Ricotta's water content is the enemy of the cream. The drier it is, the fluffier the filling will be.
2 ✓

Mix the drained curd with the icing sugar using a spatula or hand whisk until smooth.

Tip: The friction of the sugar granules helps to cream the cheese texture.
3 ✓

Drizzle in the Baileys and mix. Taste – if it's too tart, add a little more icing sugar.

Tip: Alcohol dissolves fats, so add it carefully so as not to make the cream runny.
4 ✓

Fold in the chocolate shavings and half of the toasted almonds (save the rest for decoration).

Tip: The essential oils released during toasting give the almonds a much more intense flavour.
5 ✓

Fill a piping bag with the cream. Only fill the tubes from both ends immediately before serving.

Tip: This keeps the pastry crunchy.
6 ✓

Dip the creamy ends into the remaining toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cream runny?
You probably didn't drain the ricotta enough. Whey dilutes the cream. Use thick, high-quality ricotta.
How long does it keep?
Filled cannoli should be eaten within 1-2 hours. The cream alone keeps in the fridge for 2 days.
