Description

Cannoli is a traditional Italian dessert consisting of a crispy pastry shell filled with sweet, creamy filling. The filling is usually made with ricotta cheese, sugar, and chocolate chips. In this recipe, we will be making a delicious cannoli custard filling that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Bowl
  • Spatula

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, whisking constantly, for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
  5. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.
  6. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture and whisk to combine.
  7. Cook the custard over medium heat, whisking constantly, for an additional 2-3 minutes, until thick and bubbly.
  8. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips until the butter is melted and the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  9. Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  10. Refrigerate the custard for at least 1 hour before using.

Notes

This cannoli custard filling recipe is perfect for filling cannoli shells or using as a topping for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. The custard will thicken as it cools, so don't worry if it seems too thin at first. If you prefer a smoother custard, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling.
