Preparation of Puff Pastry Cannoli with Custard
To prepare the puff pastry cannoli with custard start by preparing the custard, bringing the milk with the vanilla pod to a near boil.
Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and flour using a hand whisk to avoid lumps.
Now proceed to slowly pour the almost boiling milk over the egg yolk mixture, always stirring with the whisk, and bring everything to the heat.
Continuously stirring, cook the custard until it thickens to the desired consistency.
Transfer it to a bowl and cover with cling film on contact, allowing it to cool.
Unroll the puff pastry and cut into strips, then wrap them around metal cylinders, slightly overlapping the strips.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar, then place the cylinders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cannoli in a preheated oven at 392°F for at least 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Once the custard is at room temperature, put it into a pastry bag with a star tip and generously fill the puff pastry cannoli with custard.
I recommend filling them just before serving the cannoli, otherwise the pastry loses its crispness.
