Asian Style Matcha Red Bean Cannoli

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Lightly brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with a little water. Wrap each wrapper around a metal cannoli tube or a similar oven-safe cylindrical mold, sealing the edge with a dab of water.

3. 3

   Place the wrapped tubes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool completely before gently sliding off the tubes.

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened red bean paste, mascarpone cheese, and matcha powder. Mix until smooth and well blended.

5. 5

   Transfer the matcha red bean filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

6. 6

   Once the wonton cannoli shells are completely cool, pipe the filling into both ends of each shell until full.

7. 7

   Optionally, dust with extra matcha powder or garnish with a few red bean pieces for presentation.

8. 8

   Serve immediately for the crispiest texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
