Blueberry lemon cannoli's
Ingredients
- 2 Flatout fold it's, I used the 5 grains and flax
- Egg whites
- 1/3 cup light ricotta cheese
- 2.5 oz softened light cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 tsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp real lemon juice
- 2.5 Tbsp icing sugar, confectionery sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl mix your ricotta, cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice and zest and vanilla together, beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Gently fold in your blueberries, store mixture in fridge
- Cut your fold it breads in half so you have 2 round pieces. Use tooth picks and form them into shells. Brush egg whites onto bread and bake in oven for approx 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes, then very gently remove toothpicks from bread, they should hold there shape.
- Pipe your cheese mixture into your cannoli shells, you can use a small ziplock and cut of a tip big enough for blueberries to fit through and pipe into each end so the whole shell is filled. Store in fridge.
