DIRECTIONS
1. Roll each circle of dough around a metal cannoli tube, overlaping the ends and press to
seal, flaring out the edges slightly.
2. Fry one or two at a time in hot melted shortening (about 360F) for approximately 1
minute, turning to brown all sides.
3. Remove from hot grease and drain on paper towels, seam side down.
4. Let cool a minute or two before trying to remove metal tube.
5. To remove the tube hold cannoli shell down on the paper towel and carefully slide the
tube out one end.
6. Leave cannoil shells on paper towel, seam side down to cool completely.
7. ~NOTE~Shells can be stored in airtight containers and made several days prior to filling.
8. For filling, drain ricotta cheese over cheesecloth if ricotta is watery.
9. Combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
10. Squeeze Maraschino cherries with paper towels to remove all liquid.
11. (If you don't squeeze them good, you will have a pink water filling!).
12. Stir in cherries and chocolate chips into the ricotta mixture, being careful not to over mix.
13. For a lighter filling, you may whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to form stiff peaks, and
fold into filling mixture at this step.
14. Chill filling for about 30 minutes before piping into cooled cannoli shells.
15. You may garnish the cannoli by sprinkling powdered sugar on top.
16. Whipped cream, a cherry, and shaved chocolate can also be used to garnish the top.
17. Keep refrigerated until time of serving.
