1
Prepare the Cannoli Shells
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter. Add the egg, wine/vinegar, and mix until combined. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, wrap in plastic, and rest for 30 minutes.
2
Roll and Cut Shells
Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter). Wrap each circle around a cannoli tube and seal the edges with water.
3
Fry the Shells
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shells until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool on paper towels.
4
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
5
Fill the Cannoli
Using a piping bag, fill each cooled shell with the ricotta filling.
6
Garnish and Serve
Dip the ends of each filled cannoli in chopped pistachios. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
