A Recipe With Tutto Panino
Chocolate Coffee Cherry Cannoli
Our friend chef Kaitlyn Lasagna of Tutto Panino made the most decadent cannoli spread with help from *yours truly* in the kitchen. And bonus! You don’t have to be a master chef to nail it.
Tutto Panino has been turning heads with their cannoli and Italian sando pop-ups across Toronto. And you’ll be pleased to learn their permanent shop will open next year!
This recipe is bursting with the cozy coffee flavours of our Holiday Blend, tart cherry, and creamy chocolate. Follow along to become the most popular guest at the holiday potluck!
INGREDIENTS
- 52g coffee, ground medium (we’re using Holiday Blend)

- 15 Amarena cherries

Directions
Step 1
Make the ganache
Slowly bring heavy cream to a boil, then turn the heat off.
Step 2
Pour cream over the semi-sweet chocolate; let sit for one minute.
Step 3
Slowly incorporate the melting chocolate and cream, stirring from the centre of the bowl outwards until there are no lumps. The mixture should look glossy and smooth.

Set aside in the fridge to cool for 15 minutes.
Step 5

Add ricotta and salt to your food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 6
Add the chocolate ganache and Amarena cherry liquid to the ricotta and blend until the filling is silky smooth.

Step 8
Time to assemble

Step 9
Garnish each cannoli with an Amarena cherry (or two) and a dusting of powdered sugar for good measure. This recipe makes 15 cannolis.
Buon appetito!
