I simply love it!
ITALIAN PASTRY CANNOLI SHELLS
2 c. flour
2 tbsp. shortening
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. Marsala, Burgundy or Chablis wine
Combine flour, shortening, sugar and salt and wet gradually with the wine. Knead together with fingers until a hard dough is formed. Form into a ball, cover with a cloth and let stand for about an hour. Cut dough in half and roll 1/2 of the dough into a thin sheet about 1/4 inch thick or less and cut into a 4 inch square. Place a metal tube diagonally across each square from one point to another, wrapping dough around by overlapping the other two points, sealing the overlapping points with a little egg white. Meanwhile heat vegetable oil in a large deep pan for deep frying. Drop 1 or 2 tubes at a time into the hot oil and fry gently on all sides until dough acquires a golden brown color.
CANNOLI FILLING: #1 Easy way out!:
2 lbs. of Ricotta (must be dry)
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
1 c. confectioners sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon oil
1 tsp. vanilla
2 oz. of miniature bittersweet chocolate morsels
Dash of orange flavoring
Beat cream cheese until very creamy. Beat Ricotta vigorously for 2 minutes. Blend the cheeses together and add sugar, cinnamon oil, vanilla and flavoring plus chocolate morsels. Cover and refrigerate for 1/2 hour at least before filling shells. Filling will keep at least 3 days in refrigerator.

CANOLI? MEANING THE DESSERT KIND? THEY ARE VERY GOOD. KIND OF LIKE A CHEESECAKE ROLLED INTO TUBE

I like them, I usually go to a small Italian place near my house for them all the time. They don't always have cream cheese in them, sometimes it has other cheeses in it, but I forget which. Try it out sometime, and see for yourself.

I have heard it is good. You should try it. Don't be afraid to try new things. You may love the dish after trying it.

Canollis are amazing. their only flaw is that you can't eat just one.
