- Recipe | Tradition with a Modern Twist: Brandy Snap Cannolis with Bhapa Doi
We’re all cooking and boy, do we need a recipe that uplifts our mood! What about a modern spin on a traditional Indian mithai? We’ve got an amazing, mouth watering dessert that puts a twist on sweetened curd; crunchy and creamy, you won’t be able to stop at one!
Lets get baking!
Brandy Snap Cannolis with Bhapa Doi
SERVES 15
INGREDIENTS:
CANNOLIS
Castor sugar 27 g
Butter 27 g
Liquid glucose 22 g
Flour 27 g
Brandy 10 ml
BHAPA DOI CREAM
Bhapa doi 300 g
Whipped cream 40 g
GARNISH
Dark chocolate, melted 100 g
Fresh pistachios, chopped 100 g
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- To make the cannolis, combine the sugar, butter and liquid glucose in a small saucepan and heat till the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Stir in the brandy. Add the flour and mix to form a paste.
- Place a silicon mat on a baking tray and drop 2 to 3 teaspoons of mixture onto the tray. Leave enough space to spread the mixture into 1-mm discs using the back of a spoon.
- Bake the discs for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and remove from oven.
- Let the discs cool for 8 to 10 seconds before rolling them around the handle of a greased wooden spoon to shape into cannolis.
- Once dry, dip one side of the brandy snap cannolis in melted dark chocolate and then roll in the chopped pistachios. Set aside for the chocolate to set. The brandy snap shells can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
- For the filling, whip the bhapa doi till soft and fold in the whipped cream. Fill the mixture in a piping bag. If your mixture is on the runny side, pop the bowl into the fridge until it hardens slightly. The consistency of bhapa doi varies (some brands have a much thicker texture) so adjust the amount of whipped cream to ensure the mixture is a pipeable consistency. The filling can keep for 3 days in the fridge.
- At the time of serving, pipe the filling inside the brandy snap cannolis.
Voilà!
