Method
Cannoli Shell
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the egg yolk, white wine (or vinegar), and melted butter. Mix until combined.
Knead the Dough
Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll and Cut Shells
After resting, roll the dough thinly and cut into circles about 4 inches in diameter.
Fry the Shells
Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the dough circles around cannoli tubes and fry until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
Filling
Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
Add Flavorings
Stir in the vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips.
Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until well combined.
Assembly
Fill Cannoli
Using a piping bag, fill the cooled cannoli shells with the chocolate chip filling.
Garnish
Dust the filled cannoli with powdered sugar and top with chocolate shavings.
Serve
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
