Cannoli cream. New ideas

If you, like me, ran out of cannoli shells and still have some leftover cream. I spooned all of it into a pastry bag and put the bag into the refrigerator in a plastic container for future use. 

I used it to top my pizzelle cookies (dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts). I also added some chopped pistachios to my cookies. Yesterday I decorated some cannoli for my kids the same way.

Have fun with your pastry bag!

Pistachio and Date Cookies (Naturally Gluten-Free)

 

This morning I stumbled upon an unfinished bag of pistachios and got an idea to make some cookies with them

The cookies turned out to be delicious! They are very simple to make.

 

Ingredients:

2 egg whites at room temperature

Monk fruit sweetener –  75 grams

Almond Flour – 150 grams

Pistachios, coarsely chopped – 25 grams

Dates, finely chopped – 50 grams

Salt – 1 pinch

Cream of Tartar – 1/8 teaspoon

Vanilla extract – 1/4 teaspoon

Directions:

  • Beat the egg whites in a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, until they foam.
  • Add the cream of tartar and beat for about 10 seconds.
  • Gradually start adding your monk fruit sweetener (or sugar).
  • Beat until soft peaks form.
  •  Add salt and finish whisking when you get to the stage of hard peaks.
  • Gradually fold in all the chopped nuts and dates.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • With a spoon, take out some dough and lightly shape it into a ball with your hands.
  • Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart. 
  • Lightly flatten the balls into disks. You want to make sure they are not too flat.
  • Bake for 14-17 minutes. Monitor them after 12 minutes. 
  • Let your cookies cool down completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
  • Enjoy!
