Let's make it!

This homemade Cannoli Recipe will blow you away with how rich and delicious it is.

1

Strain the ricotta by placing it in a cheesecloth-lined colander over a bowl and refrigerate overnight to strain.

2

In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse just a few times or until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

3

Add egg and wine to the food processor.

4

Blend everything together to form a dough. If too loose, add a tablespoon of flour.

5

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial for the gluten to relax.

6

On a lightly floured surface, using a rolling pin, roll dough thin and use a cookie cutter and cut into 3-3 ½ inch circles.

7

Wrap each circle around a cannoli form/mold and seal with egg white.

8

Heat 2 inches of oil in a saucepan or dutch oven to 325°F (160°C) and fry shells for about 1 minute or until golden.

9

Cool the shells on a rack and carefully remove from forms while warm.

10

To make the filling, in a large bowl mix ricotta, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Fold in chocolate chips and/or pistachios (if using both, divide the mixture into two bowls).

11

Fill the cooled shells with ricotta mixture.

12

Optionally, dip ends in crushed pistachios or mini chocolate chips.
