Blueberry & Tokaji Wine Cannoli

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Classic cannoli with a Hungarian twist: Tokaji Aszu isn't used raw, but as a reduction. Slowly simmering the wine creates a thick, intense essence that flavors the cream without diluting it. The acidity of blueberries perfectly breaks up the richness of the ricotta.

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the Tokaji Aszu into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to half or a third (approx. 4-5 minutes) and syrupy. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Tip: Boiling evaporates water, concentrating flavors and sugar (reduction). It must be cold when added to cream, or it will melt the ricotta.
2 ✓

Mix the drained ricotta until smooth with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

Tip: Ricotta texture is best when not grainy but creamy. Mix thoroughly.
3 ✓

Fold the cooled Tokaji syrup and chopped blueberries into the cream. Work gently not to crush the fruit.

Tip: Use a silicone spatula instead of a metal spoon for gentler mixing.
4 ✓

Fill the mixture into a piping bag and rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Tip: Chilling firms up fats, making the cream more stable for filling.
5 ✓

Just before serving, fill the cannoli tubes and sift powdered sugar over them. Garnish with extra blueberries.

Tip: 'Just-in-time' filling is the secret to a crispy dessert. Moisture is your enemy.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Better not mix them into the cream, as they bleed color and soak it when thawing. They are okay for garnish.
How much should I reduce the wine?
To about half or a third, until it has a syrupy consistency.
What if I don't have Tokaji?
Any good quality sweet, late-harvest white wine will do.
