Christopher’s "Poppin' Fresh" Cannoli
Show Context
Christopher Moltisanti is having a nightmare about having no 'arc'. To feel better, he goes to the bakery. He gets frustrated with the service and buys a box of pastries, shooting the clerk in the foot on the way out.
Crispy pastry shells filled with sweet ricotta cream. Worth shooting a bakery clerk for.
Instructions
- 01
Strain: Seriously, if you didn't strain the ricotta, you're going to have soup, not cannoli. The cheese must be dry.
- 02
Whip: In a mixer, whip the ricotta until smooth. Sift in the powdered sugar, add vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until fluffy.
- 03
Fold: Gently fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
- 04
Fill: Put the mixture into a piping bag. Pipe into the shells only right before serving. If you fill them an hour early, they get soggy. Nobody likes a soggy cannoli.
- 05
Garnish: Dip the ends in chopped pistachios or more chips.
- 06
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar. Eat quickly before you start worrying about your screenplay.
