Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Shells
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter, beaten egg, and white wine. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 3-inch circles.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Wrap each circle around a cannoli tube and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and cool on paper towels.
Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
Assemble the Cannoli
- Once the shells are cool, carefully remove them from the tubes.
- Using a piping bag, fill each shell with the ricotta filling.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios on the filled ends and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a splash of orange zest to the filling. Ensure the shells are completely cooled before filling to avoid sogginess.
