Cannoli Recipe

Name: Cannoli
Prep time: 35 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 12 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon baking powder; 0.5 cup chocolate chips; 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon; 0.5 cup citron optional; 1 cup flour; 0.5 cup nuts; 2 tablespoons powdered sugar; 2 pounds ricotta; 1.5 cups sugar; 1 tablespoon vanilla; 2 tablespoons vinegar; 2 tablespoons water

Cannoli are crisp, fried pastry shells filled with a sweet, creamy ricotta mixture. The dough, made with flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a touch of vinegar, is rolled thin and wrapped around metal tubes before frying until golden. Once cooled, these shells are piped full of a rich filling of sweetened ricotta, vanilla, chocolate chips, and sometimes candied citron. A dusting of powdered sugar and chopped nuts finishes them off. They're best assembled just before serving to keep the shells at their crispiest.
