HOMEMADE CANNOLI
I love a cup of seriously strong coffee and a cannoli from an Italian bakery on Bleeker Street in Manhattan. When I am making these at home, I am holding them up to the standard of those memories. The dessert really comes together in two parts: make the shell, thin and crispy and then make a filling with serious flavor.

Steps:
- For the shell dough: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Work the butter pieces into the flour with your fingers until the mixture becomes coarse and sandy. Add the egg yolk and the white wine and mix until it becomes a smooth dough. Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and place the dough in the center. Wrap the plastic loosely around it and press the dough to fill the gap. Flattening the dough will mean less rolling later. Let it rest in the fridge for a few minutes while you make the filling.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the ricotta until smooth. Sift in the powdered sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Mix to blend. In a separate bowl (or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat the heavy cream until fairly stiff. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the cream into the ricotta mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Lightly zest the exterior of the lemon and stir it into the ricotta. Refrigerate for a half hour to an hour.
- To roll and fry the shells: In a medium pot with a heavy bottom, heat the canola oil to 360 degrees F. Meanwhile, sift an even layer of flour on a flat surface. Flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough until it is very thin (about 1/8-inch thick). Cut the dough into fourths and work in small batches. Use any glass or small bowl that has a 3-to-4-inch diameter. Cut rounds, tracing around each one to assure the dough has been fully cut. You should have about 24 circles. Wrap each circle around a cannoli mold. Use a little of the egg wash on the edge of each round to seal it shut and to assure it won't slide or fall off the mold before pressing it closed over the mold. Flare the edges out slightly from the mold. Flaring will allow the oil to penetrate each cannoli shell as they fry. Use a pair of tongs to hold the edge of the mold as you submerge and fry the shell in the oil until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil, and holding the mold in one had with your tongs, gently grip the shell in your other hand with a kitchen towel and carefully slide it off the mold. Set aside to cool. Repeat with all of the circles.
- To fill the cannolis: Just before serving, use a pastry bag without a tip to pipe the ricotta into the cannoli molds. Fill the cannoli shells from both ends so the cream runs through the whole shell. Dust with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar gives that little extra sweetness and added texture to the exterior. It also makes me feel like I have a professional bakery touch in my own home. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place Ricotta cheese in cheese cloth or in a sieve over a bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours. It has to drain as long as possible to remove excess moisture.Remove from fridge and with a spatula over a clean bowl push the ricotta through the sieve (remove from cheesecloth and place in a sieve). This will make it nice and creamy, add sugar a little at a time and taste until desired sweetness (I used 1/2 cup of sugar you may want more or less). Fold in chocolate chips. Place filling in a pastry bag with a large tip and fill tarts, make sure to fill tarts just before serving. You could also fill tarts using a spoon. Top with powdered/icing sugar or extra chips if desired. Enjoy!
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa and cinnamon, make a well in the middle and add butter (start with 1 tablespoon if too dry add the remaining tablespoon), egg and wine mixing with a fork. Bring it together to form a dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.Pre-heat oven to 350°, lightly grease and flour 15 cannoli tubes or even mini tarts. Or make your own tubes with rolled up pieces of foil.Roll dough out very thin** and cut with a round cookie cutter (medium size) to fill muffin tins, prick the bottom of the tarts with a fork a couple of times, then top each tart with a square of parchment paper and fill with dry beans. If using cannoli tubs, wrap the pastry so that it overlaps and seal by brushing with a little egg white (beat slightly).Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until pastry is golden. Let cool completely before coating or dipping with chocolate and nuts.
- Break chocolate into pieces and melt (either microwave or place chocolate in a small bowl and place over a small pot of boiling water make sure water does not touch bowl with chocolate).Let cool a little then coat each tart with chocolate. Set aside to harden.

UNHOLY CANNOLI
Unless you're trying to treat a friend from Southern Italy who's very proud of their cannoli, there's no reason not to enjoy this faster, lighter, "cheater" version. We trade the traditional fried dough for an easier crispy wafer cookie, which produces a different texture but very similar flavor profile. Feel free to garnish the ends with pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or pine nuts, dress them up a bit with some drizzled chocolate, or simply dust powdered sugar over.

Steps:
- Transfer ricotta cheese to fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl and let drain, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat (such as Silpat™) and brush with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
- For the shells, place flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, 1 tablespoon melted butter, Marsala wine, and egg white in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until very smooth, relatively thin, and spreadable.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per shell onto the prepared baking sheet. Swirl batter gently with the back of the spoon from the center outwards to create a fairly thin flat circle about 6 inches in diameter. You should be able to fit 2 per pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are browned and centers have golden brown spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While shells are baking, make a few molds by twisting pieces of aluminum foil into 7-inch long cylinders about 2 inches thick.
- While shells are still hot, quickly roll each around a foil mold to form a tube, seam-side down. Press each tube gently with a spatula for a few seconds until cool enough to hold its shape. Repeat with remaining batter, baking and shaping in batches; let shells cool completely.
- For the filling, mix drained ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, orange zest, lemon zest, dark chocolate, and honey together with a spatula. Transfer into a plastic pastry or zip-top bag and cut off one corner.
- Pipe the filling into one end of a shell until it comes out slight from the opening, and then turn and fill the other end. Garnish both ends of exposed cheese filling with chopped pistachios. Serve within the next hour or two while cannoli remain crispy.

CANNOLI
Ana and Lydia's cannoli, recipe invented on July 31st, 2005. I spent a lot of time looking for a good recipe for cannoli shells and filling. Since no two were alike, and since instructions were a bit sketchy, I worked with a friend to come up with a good recipe, including some tips that we came up with along the way. Special equipment is needed such as cannoli tubes, a pasta machine and a pastry bag to help make these cannoli come out just like the ones at Italian restaurants and bakeries. Start with 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar, and then add more to taste.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the shortening until it is in pieces no larger than peas. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, egg yolk, Marsala wine, vinegar and water. Mix with a fork until the dough becomes stiff, then finish it by hand, kneading on a clean surface. Add a bit more water if needed to incorporate all of the dry ingredients. Knead for about 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Divide the cannoli dough into thirds, and flatten each one just enough to get through the pasta machine. Roll the dough through successively thinner settings until you have reached the thinnest setting. Dust lightly with flour if necessary. Place the sheet of dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a form or large glass or bowl, cut out 4 to 5 inch circles. Dust the circles with a light coating of flour. This will help you later in removing the shells from the tubes. Roll dough around cannoli tubes, sealing the edge with a bit of egg white.
- Heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or deep heavy skillet. Fry shells on the tubes a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Use tongs to turn as needed. Carefully remove using the tongs, and place on a cooling rack set over paper towels. Cool just long enough that you can handle the tubes, then carefully twist the tube to remove the shell. Using a tea towel may help you get a better grip. Wash or wipe off the tubes, and use them for more shells. Cooled shells can be placed in an airtight container and kept for up to 2 months. You should only fill them immediately or up to 1 hours before serving.
- To make the filling, stir together the ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar using a spoon. Fold in lemon zest and chocolate. Use a pastry bag to pipe into shells, filling from the center to one end, then doing the same from the other side. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar and grated chocolate for garnish when serving.

Steps:
- Make the shells: In a large bowl, combine the flour and butter. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it is the size of peas.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg yolk and marsala wine. Using a fork or your hands, slowly incorporate the wet ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough in the bowl or on the counter into a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, patting out any extra air, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or overnight.
- Shape the shells: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ⅛-inch-thick. Cut out 4-inch circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Gather the dough scraps and re-roll to cut out as many circles as possible. Prick the dough circles all over with a fork to prevent over-puffing.
- Lightly spray the cannoli molds with nonstick spray. Place a mold across the center of the dough round. From the bottom, roll the dough, stretching gently, over the mold. Brush the edge of the dough round with the egg white mixture, then roll the top half over, pressing firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough circles, working in batches and keeping the shells on the molds for frying. Keep the remaining unshaped dough circles in a cool place or the refrigerator while you work.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
- Place 3-5 cannoli shells, seam-side down, in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other. Spray the shells lightly with nonstick spray. Fry for 6 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Using tongs, carefully remove the shells from the air fryer and slide off the molds. Repeat with remaining cannoli shells, then let cool completely.
- Make the chocolate coating: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on half power in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until the chocolate is just melted, 2-3 minutes total.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Dip the ends of each cannoli shell into the chocolate, gently shaking off any excess, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the refrigerator to set for 15-20 minutes.
- While the shells chill, make the filling: Add the ricotta to the center of a clean dish towel or cheesecloth over a medium bowl and wring to squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Transfer the strained ricotta to a large bowl and add ¼ cup powdered sugar, the vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir to combine.
- Add the heavy cream and remaining ¼ cup powdered sugar to a medium bowl and whip with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using, to evenly distribute. Transfer the filling to a piping bag. Twist the end of the piping bag and seal to prevent air exposure. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set. The filling will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Cut a ½-inch opening in the corner of the piping bag with the filling. Holding a cannoli shell seam-side up, pipe the filling into each open end of the shell to fill.
- Carefully sprinkle and/or pat mini chocolate chips, finely chopped pistachios, rainbow sprinkles, and/or thinly sliced orange peel onto the ends of the filling to adhere.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut shortening in with a pastry blender until the pieces are the size of small peas. Stir in eggs. Blend in the vinegar and cold water. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Add additional flour, if needed, to get a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes. Set out 6 aluminum cannoli tubes. Heat oil in a deep saucepan to 360 degrees F.
- Cut an oval shaped pattern from cardboard about 6x4-inches. Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Place the cardboard pattern on dough and cut out as many as will fit on the dough. Wrap dough loosely around tubes slightly overlapping opposite ends. Seal ends by brushing with egg white and pressing together.
- Fry only as many shells as will float uncrowded in the hot oil. Fry until light golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove cannoli shells to paper towels to drain. Cool slightly and remove the tubes. Cool shells completely. Continue forming and frying cannoli shells.
- Using a pastry bag or a small spoon, fill the shells with the filling from both ends. Do not fill the shells until up to an hour before serving, as the filling will make the shells soggy.
- Sprinkle ends with reserved chopped pistachio nuts and dust with confectioners sugar.

- Pour your all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar into a large mixing bowl and give them a good mix using a fork or your hands.
- Add the vegetable shortening to the mixing bowl and give everything another thorough mix together. Keep mixing the vegetable shortening into the flour until you've got a wet, almost sandy texture.
- Now, pile the mixture into a large mound and use your fingers to form a well in the center of the mound. Pour your Marsala wine straight into the well.
- Use your fingers to pull the flour into the well, slowly combining everything until you have a soft dough-like substance. Keep this up until all of the liquid and flour have been well combined together, and you have a dough-shaped ball that's slightly elastic in texture.

Press firmly and then allow this to sit in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon in the basin of a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Place your strained ricotta in a large bowl and stir in 1 ¾ cup (215g) powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and ¼ cup (35g) powdered sugar and beat until you achieve stiff peaks.
