- Basic Chocolate Chip/Ricotta Filling Instructions: Beat cheese till smooth. Add in vanilla and beat in sugar. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover - refrigerateseveral hrs or possibly as long as 3 days.
- Shells: Blend flour with salt and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in center, place whole egg and butter in well. Stir with fork; add in wine, 1 Tbsp. at a time, till dough begins to cling together. Use hands to create into a ball; cover and let stand 15 min. Roll dough out onto floured board till about 1/16-inch thick. Cut into 3 (1/2-inch) circles. With rolling pin, roll circles into ovals. Wrap each oval around aluminum cannoli tube.
- Seal the edge with egg white. Turn back the ends to flare slightly. Heat 2-inches of oil in a deep sauce- pan to 350 degrees. Fry 2 to 3 shells at a time for 1 minute, or possibly till lightly golden brown. Remove cannoli with tongs to drain and let cold about 10 to 15 seconds. Then slip out the tube, handling shells carefully.
- Note: This filling is lighter, but richer. Follow directions for basic chocolate chip filling, then beat cream till stiff and fold into the chocolate and cheese mix. To serve, use a plain large pastry tube to force Ricotta filling into cannoli shells. Remember fill only the number of cannoli you plan to serve at once.
- Note: To make this recipe, you will need 2 to 3 aluminum cannoli tubes. The unfilled shells and the basic filling can each be stored separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. But once the shells are filled, they need to be served immediately to retain crispness.
