A delightful twist on traditional tiramisu, this Sweet Cannelloni recipe features crispy fried pasta tubes filled with a luscious mascarpone and whipped cream mixture, soaked lightly in coffee for an indulgent dessert experience.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 250 g Cannelloni Pasta
  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil

Filling

  • 250 ml Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 150 g Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar

Coffee Soak

  • 2 tsp Instant Coffee
  • 3/4 cup Water

Garnish

  • Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Fry Cannelloni: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the cannelloni pasta until golden brown. Remove them from the heat and place on a cooling rack to drain excess oil.
  2. Prepare Coffee Soak: In a medium bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in water. Dip each fried cannelloni into the coffee mixture carefully and set aside to absorb flavors.
  3. Make Filling: Beat the heavy whipping cream together with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag.
  4. Fill Cannelloni: Pipe the mascarpone cream mixture into each coffee-soaked cannelloni tube until filled completely.
  5. Chill: Place the filled cannelloni in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to set the filling and enhance flavors.
  6. Serve: After chilling, arrange the cannelloni on a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet cannelloni tiramisu!

Notes

  • Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point for frying, such as vegetable or canola oil.
  • Make sure to fry the cannelloni until golden and crisp for the best texture contrast.
  • Dissolving instant coffee in warm water helps intensify the coffee flavor for soaking.
  • If unavailable, heavy cream can be substituted with double cream but results may vary slightly.
  • Chilling time is essential for the filling to set and for flavors to meld—do not skip or shorten it.
  • Garnish with cocoa powder as an alternative to powdered sugar for an extra tiramisu touch.
