CANNOLI ALLA SICILIANA (SICILIAN CANNOLI)
Not only do these little Italian pastries look and taste delicious, but this cannoli recipe stays true to the classic version, right down to the mixed peel and chocolate pieces in the filling and the finish of chopped pistachios on top. You won't be able to resist these! Fill the cannoli just before serving or the shells will get soggy.

Steps:
- Beat ricotta cheese and 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in mixed peel and chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- Mix flour, Marsala wine, butter, sugar, and vinegar together in a bowl to make cannoli dough. Wrap in plastic wrap; let rest for 30 minutes.
- Knead dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth. Roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into twenty 4-inch squares. Wrap each square around a metal tubular mold, overlapping ends and dabbing with warm water to seal.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower some cannoli molds into the hot oil; cook until shells are golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining cannoli molds. Cool briefly; twist molds carefully to remove shells. Let shells cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Fill cooled cannoli shells with ricotta filling using a spoon or piping bag. Arrange cannoli on a serving platter. Garnish with pistachios; sprinkle 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar on top.

Steps:
- 1 Combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, espresso and salt in a food processor; pulse until thoroughly combined
- 2 Add the butter and pulse to incorporate
- 3 Add 6 tablespoons of Marsala and pulse until the mixture begins to come together
- 4 If necessary, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of Marsala to make a firm yet tender dough
- 5 Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead for a few minutes, until it is mostly smooth and elastic
- 6 Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 2 days
- 7 The easiest way to roll out the dough is with a pasta machine
- 8 Divide the dough in half
- 9 Re-wrap one half and flatten the other with your palm
- 10 Feed the piece of dough through the widest setting, fold it in half and repeat
- 11 Adjust the roller to the next narrower setting and pass the dough through once
- 12 Adjust to the next narrower setting and repeat
- 13 Continue to roll until the dough is stretched to about 1/16-inch thick
- 14 Lay the strip of dough on the work surface - although it will be slightly tacky there is no need to flour the surface
- 15 Using a 3 3/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut as many rounds as you can
- 16 Gather up the scraps and wrap them in plastic wrap to re-roll later
- 17 Roll out the second piece of dough into a 1/16-inch-thick strip and use the cookie cutter to cut out 3 3/4-inch rounds
- 18 Gather up the scraps and knead them together with the reserved scraps
- 19 Roll this piece of dough through the pasta machine, stretching it as with the other pieces, and cut the strip into rounds
- 20 You should end up with a total of 20 to 24 rounds
- 21 Pour the oil to a depth of at least 2 inches into a heavy pot (such as a 9-inch enameled cast-iron pot)
- 22 Place over medium-high heat and heat the oil to about 375 degrees
- 23 Set a wire cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet
- 24 Wrap a round of dough around one of the cannoli molds, overlapping the edges and sealing them with a little egg white
- 25 (Don't roll the dough too tightly around the tube or it will be difficult to slide the shell off once it's fried
- 26 ) Press the edges with your fingers to make sure they are well sealed
- 27 Carefully slide one or two cannoli tubes into the hot oil and fry 45 to 60 seconds, until nicely browned
- 28 Use metal tongs to move the tubes around as they fry to prevent the cannoli from scorching on the bottom
- 29 Lift the cannoli tubes out of the oil with the tongs and set them on the cooling rack
- 30 Use the tongs to carefully slide the fried shells off the tubes and let the tubes cool briefly before using again
- 31 Continue until you have fried all the cannoli shells
- 32 Let cool completely before filling
- 33 To fill, fit a pastry bag with a wide tip and fill with Ricotta Cream (see related recipe)
- 34 Pipe into both ends of the cannoli shells, taking care to fill the interior
- 35 Or use a small spoon to spoon the filling into both ends of the shells, pushing the cream inside as you go
- 36 To serve, dust the filled cannoli with confectioners' sugar
- 37 Garnish the ends with an optional sprinkle of mini chocolate chips, cacao nibs, chopped pistachios and/or or chopped candied orange peel
- 38 Serve right away to keep the cannoli from turning soggy

CANNOLI ALLA SICILIANA
To make cannoli shells it is necessary to have three or four metal tubes, made preferably from very light tin, about 7 inches long and 1 1/8 inch in diameter. The edges are to be brought together and are not to be soldered. Bamboo tubes and broom sticks cut to size are also used but, for sanitary reasons, metal tubes are best.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, cinnamon, shortening, sugar and salt, and wetting gradually with the wine, knead together with fingers until rather hard dough or paste is formed. Form into a ball, cover with a cloth and let stand for about 1 hour. Cut dough in half and roll half of the dough into a thin sheet about 1/4-inch thick or less and cut into 4-inch ovals.
- Place a metal tube diagonally across each oval lengthwise. Wrap dough around tube by overlapping the 2 sides, sealing the overlapping sides with a little egg white. Meanwhile heat vegetable oil in a large deep pan for deep frying. Drop 1 or 2 of the tubes at a time into the hot oil, fry gently on all sides until dough turns a golden brown color. Remove from pan, let cool a little, gently remove shell from the metal tube. Set shells aside to become cold. Repeat procedure until shells are all made.
- Mix the ricotta thoroughly with sifted dry ingredients. Add two drops of vanilla and chopped fruit peel. Mix and blend well. Chill mixture before filling shells. Fill cold shells and smooth filling evenly at each end of the shell. Sprinkle the shells with confectioners' sugar.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
