Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1/4 cup butter cold and diced
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine
- 2 cups ricotta cheese drained
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips mini or regular
- vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the diced butter and work it into the flour mixture until crumbly.
- Gradually add the Marsala wine, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into circles and wrap each around a cannoli form.
- In a pot or deep-fryer, heat vegetable oil to 360°F (182°C). Fry the dough-wrapped forms until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
- In a separate bowl, mix the drained ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and chocolate chips until smooth.
- Once cooled, carefully remove the shells from the forms. Fill with ricotta mixture and top with additional chocolate chips or pistachios.
