• Elegant homemade dessert
• Customizable fillings
• Perfect for special occasions

Ingredients

For the Canutilles

• 2 large eggs
• 80 g sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 80 g unsalted butter, melted
• 100 g all-purpose flour
• 100 ml milk

For the Filling

• Pastry cream, to taste
• or dulce de leche
• or whipped cream
• or chocolate cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla essence until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 2: Add Butter

Pour in the melted butter and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the flour while mixing continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 4: Add Milk

Slowly pour in the milk and mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5: Bake the Shells

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread small thin circles of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.

Step 6: Shape the Canutilles

While still warm and flexible, carefully roll each pastry around a metal cannoli mold or cone form. Allow to cool completely before removing the mold.

Step 7: Prepare the Filling

Transfer your preferred filling into a piping bag.

Step 8: Fill the Pastries

Pipe pastry cream, dulce de leche, whipped cream, or chocolate filling into both ends of each canutille until filled.

Step 9: Decorate

Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

• Roll the pastries while still warm for easier shaping
• Do not overbake or they may crack when rolled
• Use a piping bag for neat filling
• Fill shortly before serving to maintain crispness

Storage

Store unfilled pastry shells in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Filled canutilles should be refrigerated and enjoyed within 24 hours.

Keep fillings separate until ready to serve for maximum crispness.
