Method

Cannoli Shells Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Wet Ingredients

    Add the melted butter, egg, white wine or vinegar, and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roll and Cut

    After chilling, roll out the dough into thin sheets. Cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shells

    Wrap each circle around a cannoli form. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wrapped shells until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

  2. 7

    Mix the Filling

    In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, confectioners' sugar, espresso or coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 8

    Fold in Whipped Cream

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Chocolate Coating

  1. 9

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.

  2. 10

    Coat the Cannoli Ends

    Dip the ends of each cannoli shell into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on parchment paper to set.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Fill the Cannoli

    Once the chocolate has set, use a piping bag to fill each cannoli shell with the mascarpone filling.

  2. 12

    Garnish

    Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate shavings to serve.
