- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until a dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll out each portion between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin oval shape, about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide.
- Carefully roll the dough ovals onto metal cannoli forms or wrap them around cream horn molds, sealing the edges with a little water.
- Place the prepared forms on the lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before gently removing the forms.
- For the filling, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in chopped nuts if desired.
- Once the cannoncini shells are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a spoon to fill them with the mascarpone mixture.
- Optionally, dust the filled cannoncini with a sprinkle of powdered sweetener before serving.
