Puff Pastry Cone Cannoli Unicorno Mini 120pcs MIO

What are the Puff Pastry Cone Cannoli Unicorno Mini MIO

The Puff Pastry Cone Cannoli Unicorno Mini MIO are crispy puff pastry shells in a conical shape, designed for professional pastry and food service. These are empty shells, ready to be filled at the moment of service, produced in Italy according to Italian confectionery tradition and distributed in Switzerland by LAPA. The carton contains 120 mini pieces, the ideal format for buffets, display cases, plated desserts and finger food offerings.

Unlike the classic Sicilian cannolo made from a fried wafer, the base here is puff pastry: layered, light and golden, with a crispness that remains the star even after filling, when handled correctly. The conical "Unicorno" shape offers an elegant, modern presentation, perfect for those seeking a versatile, visually striking shell without managing frying in the kitchen.

The conical mini format

The mini format is designed for single-portion service. Each cone has compact dimensions that allow several flavour variants to be offered on the same tray, optimising both food cost and visual yield. For the professional, this means precise portioning, control over filling quantities and an orderly presentation in the display case or buffet.

• 120 pieces per carton: optimal format for banqueting, catering and high-turnover pastry shops.
• Conical Unicorno shape: wide opening that makes piping-bag filling easier.
• Mini size: ideal for mixed assortments and tastings.
• Neutral shell: versatile base suited to sweet and, when needed, savoury fillings.

Filling: ideas and techniques

Being empty shells, the conical Unicorno cannoli offer full creative freedom. Filling must be done strictly at the moment of service, or at least as late as possible, to preserve the crispness of the puff pastry. We recommend using a piping bag with a nozzle suited to the cone opening for clean, even filling.

• Sweet classics: sweetened ricotta with chocolate chips, pastry cream, Chantilly, pistachio cream.
• Modern: chocolate ganache, namelaka, mascarpone creams, fruit mousses.
• Savoury: cheese mousse, salmon cream, ricotta with herbs for aperitifs and finger food.
• Finishing: chopped pistachios, chocolate shavings, nuts or icing sugar on the edges.

To prevent the moisture of the filling from softening the pastry, it is good practice to create a barrier with a thin layer of melted chocolate inside the shell before filling it: a simple technique that extends the service window.

Crispness and pastry quality

The distinctive feature of this product is the crispness of the puff pastry. Italian industrial baking guarantees an even golden colour and a layered structure that is felt at the bite. To keep this quality intact it is essential to store the shells dry and fill them only at the last moment. Well-managed puff pastry offers the perfect contrast between the crisp exterior and the softness of the filling.

Storage and handling

The shells must be stored in a cool, dry place, in the closed original packaging, away from sources of moisture and heat. Once the carton is opened, it is advisable to keep unused shells in an airtight container to protect them from ambient humidity. Do not fill pieces intended for deferred service in advance: filling should always be done on the same day, ideally shortly before consumption, to guarantee maximum crispness for the end customer.

Who it is for

The Puff Pastry Cone Cannoli Unicorno Mini MIO are the ideal choice for pastry shops, bars, hotels, restaurants, catering and banqueting services that want to expand their small-pastry offering without investing time in producing the shells. Buying the ready-made shell reduces kitchen work while maintaining a professional, repeatable result.
