White Chocolate Mascarpone Cannoli

White chocolate's mild sweetness elevates the rustic cannoli shell to new levels. While traditional filling uses ricotta, here we combine mascarpone creaminess with melted chocolate, creating a rich, mousse-like cream. The wine-infused dough's crunch is the essential counterpoint to this rich indulgence.

Instructions

1

Crumble flour, sugar, and butter. Add egg yolk and wine. Knead stiff dough, rest.

Tip: Stiff dough rolls thinner and bubbles better.
2

Melt white chocolate, cool to lukewarm. Mix smooth with mascarpone. Refrigerate.

Tip: Too hot melts the cheese; too cold makes it lumpy.
3

Roll dough, shape on tubes, fry in hot oil. Cool.

Tip: Hot oil evaporates alcohol/water instantly, creating crisp texture.
4

Fill cold shells with chocolate cream before serving.

Tip: Serve immediately to prevent soggy shells.
