HOMEMADE CANNOLI
I love a cup of seriously strong coffee and a cannoli from an Italian bakery on Bleeker Street in Manhattan. When I am making these at home, I am holding them up to the standard of those memories. The dessert really comes together in two parts: make the shell, thin and crispy and then make a filling with serious flavor.

Steps:
- For the shell dough: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Work the butter pieces into the flour with your fingers until the mixture becomes coarse and sandy. Add the egg yolk and the white wine and mix until it becomes a smooth dough. Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and place the dough in the center. Wrap the plastic loosely around it and press the dough to fill the gap. Flattening the dough will mean less rolling later. Let it rest in the fridge for a few minutes while you make the filling.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the ricotta until smooth. Sift in the powdered sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Mix to blend. In a separate bowl (or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat the heavy cream until fairly stiff. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the cream into the ricotta mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Lightly zest the exterior of the lemon and stir it into the ricotta. Refrigerate for a half hour to an hour.
- To roll and fry the shells: In a medium pot with a heavy bottom, heat the canola oil to 360 degrees F. Meanwhile, sift an even layer of flour on a flat surface. Flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough until it is very thin (about 1/8-inch thick). Cut the dough into fourths and work in small batches. Use any glass or small bowl that has a 3-to-4-inch diameter. Cut rounds, tracing around each one to assure the dough has been fully cut. You should have about 24 circles. Wrap each circle around a cannoli mold. Use a little of the egg wash on the edge of each round to seal it shut and to assure it won't slide or fall off the mold before pressing it closed over the mold. Flare the edges out slightly from the mold. Flaring will allow the oil to penetrate each cannoli shell as they fry. Use a pair of tongs to hold the edge of the mold as you submerge and fry the shell in the oil until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil, and holding the mold in one had with your tongs, gently grip the shell in your other hand with a kitchen towel and carefully slide it off the mold. Set aside to cool. Repeat with all of the circles.
- To fill the cannolis: Just before serving, use a pastry bag without a tip to pipe the ricotta into the cannoli molds. Fill the cannoli shells from both ends so the cream runs through the whole shell. Dust with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar gives that little extra sweetness and added texture to the exterior. It also makes me feel like I have a professional bakery touch in my own home. Serve immediately.

CANNOLI SHELLS AND RICOTTA CREAM FILLING
Giovanna, our good friend, makes wonderful cannoli shells and ricotta cream-love friends like her! Her family owned Italian restaurants for over 40 years in the Chicago area. She stores the shells in a plastic air tight container at room temperature for 2 months and freezes the filling she is not using immediately and defrosts it in the refrigerator later. As she would say mangiare, mangiare---eat, eat! (I will attempt to post some photos in the correct sequence http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=259809)

Steps:
- Three or more days in advance of making the cannoli shells set the ricotta in a colander inside of a large bowl.
- Scrape the ricotta into the colander and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let the ricotta drain in the refrigerator for two days, until it is dry.
- To make the dough for cannoli shells: In a small bowl put eggs.
- Beat eggs; add vanilla and ice water to eggs.
- In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the flour, sugar, salt, cocoa, and cinnamon.
- Add the shortening and mix until crumbly.
- Make well in dry mixture and add wet mixture.
- Using your hands mix together, if it is dry, add more ice water.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and well blended, about 3 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a flattened ball.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 to 60 minutes.
- Cut the dough into 4 pieces.
- Starting at the middle setting, run one of the pieces of dough through the rollers of a pasta machine or the dough can be rolled on a board with a rolling pin.
- Lightly dust the dough with flour as needed to keep the pieces from sticking.
- Continue to pass the dough through the machine until you reach the last or second to last setting.
- You might need to run the dough through the pasta machine three times.
- The dough needs to be thin-about the same thickness as construction paper; cut the dough into 4 1/2 inch circles. (Giovanna's cannoli tubes are 6 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.).
- Continue rolling out the remaining dough.
- If you do not have enough cannoli tubes for all of the dough, lay the pieces of dough on sheets of plastic wrap and keep them covered until you are ready to use them.
- Put a rack in the bottom of a large heavy kettle that you plan on putting your peanut oil into so that your cannoli shells do not touch the bottom and burn. (Giovanna uses a restaurant kettle that is about 18 inches in diameter.).
- Pour about 2 inches of oil in a smaller kettle. Giovanna used 4 quarts but her kettle is huge!
- Heat oil until a deep frying thermometer shows 375 degrees.
- Oil the cannoli tubes by placing them in the hot oil then draining them in a metal bowl (you need the oil on the tube so that later the cannoli shell will slip off easily).
- Lay the dough circle flat, center the tube on it, bring left edge onto tube, dab it with egg white, bring up right side of dough circle, dab it with egg white, and roll the tube; do not press the dough. You do not want the dough to be too tight on the tube, or you will have difficulty later getting your cannoli off. Be careful not to stretch the dough or pull it tightly. Avoid, as best as possible, getting egg white on the tube, or the cannoli will stick to it.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Carefully lower a few of the cannoli tubes into the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan.
- Fry the shells until golden, about 2 minutes, turning them so that they brown evenly.
- With tongs, remove the cannoli tubes, holding them straight up so that the oil flows back into the pan.
- Then drain the cannoli still on tube briefly in a metal bowl.
- While the cannoli shells are still hot, carefully slide the shells off the tubes by grasping each tube with a clean towel and gently twisting the cannoli shell off the tube with your other hand protected by an oven mitt or towel. On another work surface area, lay oilcloth or newspaper, topped with a large rack.
- When the cannoli shells are barely warm set them on top of the rack.
- It is important that the shells stay on the racks overnight.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- If you are reusing the cannoli tubes, let them cool before wrapping them in the dough; set aside.
- The cannoli shells can be made up to 2 months before serving if you drain them properly overnight, and store them in sealed containers in a cool, dry place, but not in a refrigerator.
- To make the ricotta cream, put the thoroughly dry ricotta in a large mixing bowl with a wire whip and blend until creamy.
- Add the confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon oil; blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the chocolate pieces. Store the ricotta cream in the refrigerator for 48 hours. After 48 hours, serve and freeze the rest.
- Frozen ricotta cream can be defrosted in the refrigerator later.
- To assemble, use a knife to push the ricotta cream into the cannoli shell.
- Place the cannoli on a serving platter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
- Use within an hour.

Steps:
- In a small sauce pan, heat milk, a strip of lemon zest and vanilla extract. Do not bring to a boil. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Add flour and whisk.
- Pour half of the warm milk into the egg mixture and whisk until incorporated.
- Pour the mixture back into the sauce pan with the remaining milk. Place on the burner over medium-high heat and whisk continuously until it comes to a gentle boil and thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove and discard the strip of lemon zest.
- To ensure your pastry cream is completely smooth and free of lumps, force it through a fine mesh sieve over a bowl.
- Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream in order to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about 2 hours.
- While the pastry cream cools prepare the shells by stirring together all-purpose flour and sugar in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk; red wine; vegetable oil and egg.
- Use a fork to whisk the wet ingredients and slowly begin incorporating the flour into the wet ingredients to form a dough. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- This dough does not require a resting period and can be rolled out immediately. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, keep the remaining pieces covered to prevent the dough from drying.
- Use a pasta roller (or rolling pin) to roll out the sheets of dough until the second to last setting. Lightly sprinkle your sheets with all-purpose flour as needed if they are sticky. Keep the sheets of dough covered to prevent from drying.
- Cut the dough into 4 inch rounds with a cookie cutter or any other household item of similar size. For years my mom used a mug with a 4 inch opening.
- Reroll any scraps of dough and cut out more circles.
- Wrap the dough around the cannoli molds and seal both ends with egg white (reserve an egg white from the pastry cream). This is crucial to prevent them from unwrapping from the molds during frying.
- Fill a deep heavy bottomed pot (or use a fryer if you have one) with about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil.
- In order to verify if the oil is hot enough try out my mom's easy method: place the end of a wooden spoon directly in the middle of the pot, if the oil immediately bubbles and sizzles around the handle it's ready for frying.
- Fry 3 or 4 cannoli shells at a time until golden. Avoid overcrowding your pot as you may have to hold them down to ensure that all sides are evenly fried. They sometimes roll over when you try to flip them!
- The shells are ready when they are golden and bubbly. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate or tray.
- Use two paper towels to carefully separate the cannoli molds from the shell (be careful, they will be extremely hot!). Wrap more dough around the molds and continue fry the remaining pieces of dough.
- Fill the cannoli shells once they are completely cooled.
- Place the cooled cannoli cream in a pastry bag with a star or round tip attachment. Alternately use a freezer bag with the tip cut off.
- Pipe the cream at both ends of each cannoli shell making sure that the cream reaches the center of the shell.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and sprinkle some chopped pistachios and chocolate chips or grated chocolate (optional) on each end.
- Fill up to 4 hours prior to serving to ensure the shell stays crisp. Refrigerate the filled cannoli shells.
