FOR "CANNOLI" SHELLS
FOR FILLING
ACCOMPANIMENTS
Make "cannoli" shells:
Preheat oven to 350F. and lightly grease a heavy baking sheet.
Arrange 4 parchment squares on baking sheet. (Oil or butter makes parchment
squares stick to baking sheet).
In a food processor blend together coconut and flour until coconut is
ground fine. Add butter, sugars, and milk and blend until dough forms a
ball, about 10 seconds. Spoon a well-rounded teaspoon of dough onto each of
the 4 parchment squares and with slightly wet fingertips evenly pat into 2
inch rounds.
Bake cookies in middle of oven until very thin and golden brown, about 10
minutes. Immediately transfer cookies (still on parchment) to a rack and
let stand until just firm enough to hold their shape, 30 to 45 seconds.
Working with 1 cookie at a time and using parchment as an aid, quickly roll
cookie around a cannoli form to make a cylinder. (If cookies become too
firm to roll, return them on parchment on baking sheet to oven 1 minute to
soften.) Cool formed cookies or a rack before removing cannoli form. Make
more cookies in same manner with remaining dough, baking and forming
cookies in batches of 4 and allowing baking sheet to cool completely
between each batch. Cookies are fragile. Cookies keep in one layer in an
airtight container at room temperature 4 days.
Make filling:
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese with sugar, zest, and
lime juice until smooth and beat in mascarpone. Chill filling, covered,
until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
Assemble dessert:
Whisk filling and transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain
or decorative tip. Carefully pipe filling into both ends of 12 cookies.
Pour about 1/4 cup mango sauce onto each of 6 dessert plates, tilting plate
to distribute sauce evenly, and top with 2 "cannoli," raspberries, and
carambola slices.
Serves 6.
