Ingredients:
- 50 g of plain flour
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons of marsala wine
- 30 g of dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons of icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon of grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 600 mL of vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions
-
Place the flour in a bowl and add the melted butter, marsala wine, grated lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Mix until all the ingredients are combined and form a dough.
-
Knead the dough until it becomes soft and elastic, and then cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a thin sheet. Cut into 4 cm x 10 cm rectangles.
-
Place a spoonful of melted chocolate and a teaspoon of icing sugar on each rectangle and roll up into a tube. Ensure that the dough is sealed at the ends.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan until it’s hot enough and fry the cannoli tubes until they are crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on kitchen paper.
-
Sprinkle with icing sugar and the vanilla extract. Serve while still warm.
