Vegan Cannoli
Author: Nikki
Recipe type: Cakes, Biscuits & Slices
Serves: approx 22
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon of solid coconut oil
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon of apple juice
- ¼ cup of aquafaba plus extra to seal cannoli (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon & salt in a large mixing bowl
- Add the coconut oil & rub through the dry mixture until the mix becomes sandy in texture
- Add apple juice & ¼ cup of aquafaba and mix through. Knead the dough for a few minutes into a smooth ball. (If too dry, add 1 tsp apple juice at a time, but you shouldn’t need it).
- Divide in two equal parts, flatten & place on small plates, cover in plastic & refrigerate for an hour
- Heat a small frypan with 1-2 cms of oil – medium to hot
- Roll out dough until thin (0.2 – 0.3 mm) & cut a 10cm ring. Wrap dough around rods sealing the edge with the extra aquafaba (see note about rods)
- Carefully place the rods into the oil, seal side down first by using tongs & turn occasionally to cook evenly & until golden brown (1-2 minutes)
- Remove with tongs. Using a cloth pinch the end of the rod & the foil & slide the cannoli off & cool on a wire rack
- Once cooled, fill with your choices of filling (Google search) or with chocolate ganache & custard (if you would like the recipes for my fillings, please ask)
Notes
You can purchase a cannoli rod made from steel but a 13cm piece of wooden broom handle wrapped in foil will suffice
