Italian Cream Stuffed Cannoncini Recipe
I want to start the new year with something special. Something Italian. Something that I simply love.
And I do not mean any random afters however a crisp and buttery puff pastry shell exploding with wealthy and sinfully creamy dish. Here is all I love (and need) in a pastry: lick-your-finger delicious (seriously!), easy to make (I used frozen puff pastry to make things easier), and oh-so pretty.
Take a look.
It goes without saying that I love custard cream. You probably have guessed it by the many recipes with cream on the blog. Fruit and custard tart, torta della nonna, my strawberry rose tart, cream-filled frittelle, strawberry and cream bars, berry meringue cups ... and so many others that I can't even remember.
What's not to love about vanilla flavored and dense cream, wrapped in a buttery and crispy pastry?!? Mouthwatering and comforting, especially on cold winter days. Yes, even here in Southern American state we've had, strangely enough, a bit of winter showing this year.
In today's recipe, I used frozen puff pastry. And all I did was rolling the pastry out sprinkle with a little sugar (for extra crunchiness), cut in strips and roll around the mold. You can see in my video, how easy is to make these horns:
