Hi!!!
Here is the recipe:
Creme de Pirouline
"These piroulines are also known as cigarettes russes. Crispy rolled wafers with chocolate tips."
Original recipe yield: 3 dozen cookies
PREP TIME 25 Min
COOK TIME 35 Min
READY IN 3 Hrs
INGREDIENTS
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
5/8 cup unsalted butter, melted
6 egg whites
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
4 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup unsalted butter
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, flour and salt. Make a well in the center, and add melted butter, egg whites, heavy cream and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil spray or shortening. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of dough onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter into a very thin 6x3 1/2 inch oval. Make as many as 4 per baking sheet.
Bake for about 6 minutes, or until the edges are turning brown. Using a long metal knife or spatula, remove from the baking sheet to a clean surface. Use a chopstick or thin wooden dowel to roll the cookie up starting at the long side. If cookies get too stiff to roll, place them back in the oven for about 30 seconds. Prepare the second sheet while the first is baking. Continue baking and shaping cookies until batter is used up. Cool on a wire rack.
In a bowl over simmering water, combine the chocolate, corn syrup and remaining 1/4 cup butter. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly. Dip about 1 inch of the end of each cookie into the chocolate sauce. Allow the cookies to set up on waxed paper.

Classic Cannoli Filling Tips From Francesco: Thoroughly strain the ricotta for proper filling consistency.
: Refrigerate filling overnight if possible.
: Add sugar sparingly. Classic Cannoli Filling is not overly sweet. Let the rich taste of the Ricotta come through.
: Cannoli are best if filled just before serving. This helps to keep the shells crisp.
16 oz. Ricotta cheese
½ - ¾ Cup confectioner’s sugar (to taste)
¼ tsp. pure vanilla extract
Drain the ricotta cheese in cheesecloth for one hour. Using a stand mixer on lowest speed or by hand, beat the ricotta cheese for approximately one minute. Slowly add sugar and continue mixing. Mix in vanilla. Filling can be prepared up to 1-2 days ahead.
Use a pastry bag or a plastic storage bag with one corner snipped off to fill shells. Filling can be thickened, if desired, by beating in one Tbs. of cornstarch at a time until filling reaches desired consistency. Garnish with powdered sugar and/or cinnamon and mini-chocolate chips. Refrigerate filling at least one hour prior to filling shells. Fill Cannoli shells using either a pastry bag or spoon when ready to serve. (See bottom of this page for garnishing options)
