Ingredients:
Shells
Vegetable oil or shortening, for frying (about 8 c)
1 large Egg
1 Egg white
3 tablespoons (43 grams) unsalted butter, diced into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 c marsala wine, then more as needed
1 3/4 c (250 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
1 1/2 tablespoons (18 grams) of granulated sugar
Filling
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 c (126 grams) mini chocolate chips
32 ounces whole milk ricotta, strained
Chopped unsalted pistachios, optional
1 1/2 c (180 grams) powdered sugar
Directions:
Cannoli Shells:
Add salt, sugar, and flour to a food processor. Pulse for about 10 minutes.
Add the butter, then pulse again until the texture of the mixture becomes smooth.
Add the egg and marsala, then pulse again until well incorporated and forms into a dough.
Add oil to the inside of a bowl, then place the dough in it. Cover and allow it to rise for 30 minutes to 2 hours on the counter.
Place a large pot on the stove and turn the heat to about 355 degrees F. Add 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil and allow it to become hot.
Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, then place the dough on it. Roll it out into a thin piece.
Slice the dough into circles with a 4-inch cookie cutter. Coat each cannoli foil with oil, then wrap each dough around it.
Add them to the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Transfer them onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain oil.
Remove each shell from the cannoli form. Let them rest for a few minutes at room temperature. Fill each cannoli with the fillings.
To Make the Cannoli Filling:
Add cinnamon, chocolate chips, strained ricotta, chocolate chips, and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Stir everything until well blended.
Move the mixture inside a piping bag. Fill each cannoli with it.
Notes:
Feel free to use sweet or dry marsala wine for this recipe.
You can use 1 cup of granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar.
