Help Me Invent Cannoli Waffles

[STEbbq]

I believe this should work pretty well as a waffle. Cannoli batter cooked in the waffle maker then sliced in half and filled with the ricotta cheese mixture. Or cannoli waffle topped with mixture. I doubt I could stuff while cooking as that would create a mess.

it wouldn’t be a cannoli cake but closer to a cannoli skillet recipe. Unfortunately, my search skills cannot quite find the ideal recipe (cannoli skillets are uncommon?) where someone has done this already.

These all seem like decent starting points. Does anyone have a better recipe or what kind of adjustments would you make to ensure the outcome is good?

Hhhmmmm….

[STEbbq]

Too crazy an idea?

[SheilaAnn]

Maybe not….. let me poke around my personal archives.

Can you pipe in the filling like they do a jelly doughnut?

[STEbbq]

I probably have the injection things somewhere. I know I have a turkey injector which would work.

Mac and Cheese waffles might be easier...

STEbbq ok…. How about this for inspiration: think Pizzelles! But not with anise flavor which is pretty traditional. I would go with vanilla or Marsala or a mixture of both. For the topping, er, filling, use your favorite ricotta filling recipe. I served cannoli with ricotta and wheat berries. So good! I’ll dig up that recipe if you like. it’s for restaurant volume, but I bet you can make it work. And ya gotta use the little mini chocolate chips.

What a fun project!

STEbbq any progress?

It is on my to-do list. I made German chocolate waffles and hush puppy waffles the last two weeks.

I am going thinking maybe next Sunday or the week after. I need to get some fresh ricotta cheese from Fresh Market.

Cannoli waffles have successfully been invented! Mixed in ricotta cheese into the waffle as well as vanilla for SheilaAnn . Used ricotta cheese, vanilla sugar, and cream for the topping and Isome raspberry jam. It was yummy. I made some tweaks to the usual recipe to make it cannoli forward. One of the best yet.

I'd think a thin, crispy waffle, would be the way to go.

Something like this.

Edit -
The picture shows waffles used for a cannoli. Their website doesn't have a cannoli recipe. So I think they're just using the normal waffle recipe.

This is the recipe from the instruction manual.

Waffle Cone Recipe Ingredients

2/3 cup bread flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1. Set Browning Control Dial to halfway between MIN and MAX, close lid and wait until green PREHEAT light comes on.

2. In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and sugars until well blended, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture and stir until blended. Add butter, milk and vanilla extract and stir until well blended.

4. Pour 3-4 tablespoons waffle cone batter in center of Waffle Cone Maker. Lower Lid onto batter, do not push down. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Waffle cones are thinner than waffles.

5. Using tip of Cone Roller, lift edge of waffle and move Cone Roller under cooked waffle to remove. Or use heat-proof, non-metal utensil. Use a paper towel to quickly shape waffle around Cone Roller. Or form around Waffle Cup Mold. Hold until set. Remove cone from Roller and place on a parchment paper-lined tray. Repeat with remaining batter.

6. When cool, fill with ice cream to serve.
