Unique Dessert Recipe: Spiced Pumpkin Cannoli

Today, I’m excited to share a special dessert recipe that’s perfect for the fall season. This unique twist on traditional cannoli features a delicious blend of spiced pumpkin and creamy ricotta filling, all wrapped up in a crispy, flaky shell. It’s the perfect treat for autumn gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients:

  • 200g pumpkin puree
  • 250g ricotta cheese
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 50g chopped pecans
  • 6 cannoli shells

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • piping bag
  • frying pan

To start, in a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Fold in the chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.

Next, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Take one cannoli shell and carefully wrap it around a cannoli mold to create a tube shape. Gently fry the shell in the pan until golden and crispy, then remove and let cool.

Once the shells are cooled, fill a piping bag with the pumpkin ricotta mixture. Carefully pipe the filling into each cannoli shell, making sure to fill them completely.

To finish, dust the filled cannoli with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for a beautiful presentation. Serve these spiced pumpkin cannoli as a delightful dessert for any occasion.

Pro tip: For an extra special touch, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the filled cannoli before serving. This adds a rich and indulgent flavor that complements the spiced pumpkin filling perfectly.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in these spiced pumpkin cannoli. Feel free to get creative with the flavors and toppings to make this recipe your own. Happy baking!
