Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup erythritol
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup pistachios, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup confectioners erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon pistachio extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut out circles with a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Re-roll any scraps to make more circles.
Wrap the circle dough gently around a cannoli mold, securing the edges with a bit of water.
Place the cannoli molds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm.
Let the shells cool on the molds for a few minutes, then carefully remove them to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, chopped pistachios, heavy cream, confectioners erythritol, and pistachio extract until well combined.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag and fill each cooled cannoli shell.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve for up to 24 hours.
