Cannoli Shells

Method

Cannoli Shells

1

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in the egg and wine or vinegar until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Roll Out the Dough

After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece as thin as possible, about 1/16 inch thick. Cut into circles using a 4-inch round cutter.

3

Fry the Shells

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

Filling

4

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in the Marsala wine, ground cinnamon, and chopped dark chocolate. Mix until well combined.

5

Fill the Cannoli

Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cooled cannoli shell with the ricotta filling, making sure to fill both ends.

6

Garnish

Sprinkle the tops of the filled cannoli with chopped pistachios and garnish with edible flowers before serving.
