Ingredients

• ✓ egg yolk
• phyllo dough
• butter
• gianduja chocolate
• unsweetened chocolate
• mascarpone cheese
• white sugar
• hazelnut liqueur
• egg white

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C.) Butter a 9 inch springform pan. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the pan. Tuck it into the pan and let the edges overhang the rim. Brush with butter and layer a second sheet of phyllo. Butter this sheet. Continue until you have used all four sheets of phyllo. End with butter. Use as little butter as possible. Cover the phyllo-filled pan with a damp cloth.
2. 2 In the top of a double boiler, heat gianduia chocolate and unsweetened chocolate, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
3. 3 In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. When no lumps remain, begin to beat in the sugar a little at a time. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time incorporating each yolk completely before adding the next. Finally beat in the melted and cooled chocolates and the liqueur.
4. 4 Beat the egg whites until they just get stiff. Do not over beat. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cheese mixture, then quickly fold in the remaining whites until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whites as much as possible. Pour the filling into the phyllo-lined pan. Tuck the edges of the phyllo into the pan making a bit of a rim.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. It will still seem a little loose in the center. When the cake appears done, turn off the oven, prop open the oven door with a wooden spoon and let the cake remain in the oven for another hour. Then place the cake in the refrigerator until completely chilled.

5. 5 Divide cannoli dough into three balls; flatten each one just enough to get through the pasta machine. Roll 1 ball of dough through successively thinner settings until reach the thinnest setting. Dust lightly with flour if necessary.
6. 6 Place dough sheet on a lightly floured surface; cut out 4 to 5-inch circles using a cutter or large glass.
7. 7 Lightly dust dough circles with flour. This will help you later in removing the shells from the tubes. Roll dough around cannoli tubes, sealing edges with a bit of egg white. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
8. 8 Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry shells on the tubes in hot oil, a few at a time, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes; turn as needed using tongs. Remove shells carefully using tongs; place on a cooling rack set over paper towels.
9. 9 Cool just long enough that you can handle the tubes, then carefully twist tubes to remove shells. Using a tea towel may help you get a better grip. Wash or wipe off the tubes; use them for more shells. Place cooled shells in an airtight container for up to 2 months. You should only fill them up to 1 hour before serving.
10. 10 Mix ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a large bowl until well combined; fold in chocolate and lemon zest.
11. 11 Transfer filling mixture to a pastry bag; pipe into shells, filling from the center to one end, then repeating on the other side. Dust with confectioners' sugar to serve, if you like.
12. 12 Enjoy!

Ingredients

• ✓ egg yolk
• wheat grain
• milk
• butter
• lemon
• ricotta cheese
• white sugar
• egg
• orange flower water
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• orange peel
• puff pastry
• egg
• powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Bring wheat grains, milk, butter, and 1/2 of the lemon zest to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Simmer until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 11-inch tart pan.
3. 3 Combine ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, orange flower water, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Mix in remaining lemon zest and candied orange peel. Fold in wheat mixture and mix filling until well combined.
4. 4 Roll out 1 sheet puff pastry on a lightly floured surface so it will fit into the tart pan. Place pastry in the pan and spoon filling on top. Roll out the second puff pastry sheet and cut into 3/4-inch thick strips. Layer a lattice pattern on top of the filling and brush with beaten egg.
5. 5 Bake tart in the preheated oven until filling is set and lattice is lightly browned, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool inside the tart pan, at least 1 hour.
6. 6 Carefully unmold tart, transfer onto a cake platter. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
