August is the time when we're looking for quick solutions that don't require spending hours in a hot kitchen. This recipe is the perfect summer "life hack" – a delicious, crispy alternative to classic Sicilian pasta that you can prepare in a flash.
Here's a recipe for a Cannoli dessert with pistachio cream , which, thanks to the use of tortillas and an Air Fryer, is lighter and perfect for a summer afternoon.
Express Cannoli with Pistachio Cream
This dessert proves that creativity in the kitchen pays off. Instead of fried dough, we use a whole-grain tortilla, which becomes incredibly crispy after baking. Filled with a protein-packed pistachio filling, it's the perfect snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth without weighing you down on a hot day.
Pistachio dessert heart
The key to success here is the intense, nutty flavor. We use our sugar-free pistachio cream from Good Noot , which blends perfectly with the vanilla pudding, creating a velvety and nutritious filling. It's the pure essence of pistachios in a crunchy package.
Recipe for Cannoli Dessert (12 pieces)
Ingredients:
-
2 whole wheat tortillas
-
1 egg (for brushing)
-
30 g sugar-free pistachio cream from Good Noot (for decoration)
-
Chopped pistachios
Cream:
-
150 g vanilla protein pudding
-
30g of Pistachio Cream with No Added Sugar from Good Noot
Preparation method:
-
Forming the tubes: Using a glass, cut out circles from the tortillas. Fold each circle into a tube shape and secure with a toothpick to maintain its shape during baking.
-
Bake: Brush the tops of the prepared tortillas with beaten egg. Bake in an Air Fryer at 170°C for just 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Preparing the base: After baking, set the tortillas aside to cool completely, then carefully remove the toothpicks.
-
Decorating the edges: spread the edges of each tube with sugar-free Pistachio cream and roll in chopped pistachios.
-
Filling: Mix the protein pudding thoroughly with the pistachio cream. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag.
-
Finale: Fill the tubes with cream just before serving to ensure the tortilla retains its maximum crispiness.
