Directions
-
Step 1
In a saucepan (off the heat), add the cocoa powder, corn starch, and sugar. Stir them together using a whisk to eliminate lumps.
-
Step 2
Slowly pour in the rice milk while whisking continuously, making sure the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
-
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for a few minutes until it thickens into a smooth cream.
-
Step 4
Once thickened and removed from the heat, stir in the Cointreau. Mix well.
-
Step 5
Let the cream cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap, touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until fully chilled.
-
Step 6
Once the cream is cold, transfer it into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Carefully pipe the cream into both ends of the cannoli shells.
-
Step 7
Dust the filled cannoli with icing sugar just before serving.
