For the Cannoli Shells

For Garnish

Method

Prepare the Cannoli Shells

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter, egg yolks, white wine, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll and Cut the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into circles (about 3 inches in diameter).

  3. 3

    Fry the Shells

    Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Wrap each dough circle around a cannoli tube, sealing the edges with a bit of water. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.

Assemble the Cannoli

  1. 5

    Fill the Shells

    Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each cooled cannoli shell with the ricotta filling.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios and chocolate shavings as desired.
