Air-Fryer Pistachio Chocolate Cannoli Parcels

Air-fryer pistachio chocolate cannoli parcels from Sweet Munch, built for hot pastry, molten centres, sticky sugar and proper dessert chaos.

This is what happens when a Sicilian cannoli decides it wants to become even more dangerous. Flaky pastry. Melted chocolate. Sweet pistachios. Creamy filling. The sort of dessert that starts with one parcel and somehow ends with somebody checking whether there are

Air-Fryer Pistachio Chocolate Cannoli Parcels preparation stage

You’ll Need

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
100g ricotta cheese
50g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
75g milk chocolate, chopped
50g pistachios, chopped
1 egg, beaten
For The Finish
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp chopped pistachios
25g melted chocolate
Optional But Dangerous
White chocolate drizzle
Nutella
Vanilla ice cream

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Fold through half the chopped pistachios.

Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares.

Spoon a little ricotta mixture into the centre of each square.

Top with chopped chocolate.

Fold the pastry over to form parcels and seal the edges firmly with a fork.

Brush the tops with beaten egg.

Place into the air fryer basket lined with baking paper, leaving space between each parcel.

Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until puffed, deeply golden, and crisp.

Allow to cool for 2–3 minutes.

Drizzle over the melted chocolate.

Scatter with the remaining pistachios and a light dusting of icing sugar.

Serve warm while the pastry is crisp and the chocolate remains soft.

Lad Tip: Sicily has never been shy about pistachios, ricotta, or chocolate. If a little filling escapes during cooking and caramelises around the edges, congratulations — you've just created the best bit of the whole parcel.
