CANNOLI
Ana and Lydia's cannoli, recipe invented on July 31st, 2005. I spent a lot of time looking for a good recipe for cannoli shells and filling. Since no two were alike, and since instructions were a bit sketchy, I worked with a friend to come up with a good recipe, including some tips that we came up with along the way. Special equipment is needed such as cannoli tubes, a pasta machine and a pastry bag to help make these cannoli come out just like the ones at Italian restaurants and bakeries. Start with 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar, and then add more to taste.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the shortening until it is in pieces no larger than peas. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, egg yolk, Marsala wine, vinegar and water. Mix with a fork until the dough becomes stiff, then finish it by hand, kneading on a clean surface. Add a bit more water if needed to incorporate all of the dry ingredients. Knead for about 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Divide the cannoli dough into thirds, and flatten each one just enough to get through the pasta machine. Roll the dough through successively thinner settings until you have reached the thinnest setting. Dust lightly with flour if necessary. Place the sheet of dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a form or large glass or bowl, cut out 4 to 5 inch circles. Dust the circles with a light coating of flour. This will help you later in removing the shells from the tubes. Roll dough around cannoli tubes, sealing the edge with a bit of egg white.
- Heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or deep heavy skillet. Fry shells on the tubes a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Use tongs to turn as needed. Carefully remove using the tongs, and place on a cooling rack set over paper towels. Cool just long enough that you can handle the tubes, then carefully twist the tube to remove the shell. Using a tea towel may help you get a better grip. Wash or wipe off the tubes, and use them for more shells. Cooled shells can be placed in an airtight container and kept for up to 2 months. You should only fill them immediately or up to 1 hours before serving.
- To make the filling, stir together the ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar using a spoon. Fold in lemon zest and chocolate. Use a pastry bag to pipe into shells, filling from the center to one end, then doing the same from the other side. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar and grated chocolate for garnish when serving.

CANNOLI CRUMB PIE
When my husband's cousin, Nino, was visiting us from Chioggia, Italy, he made us this delicious pie called "Torta Sbriciolata Ricotta e Chioccolato", which translates to crumbly cake with ricotta and chocolate. Now, that's a mouthful ... so I call my version "Cannoli Crumb Pie". It's so quick and easy to make. My family loves it!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a deep-dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Place flour, sugar, livieto, vanillina, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Drizzle in the butter and egg while pulsing. Pulse only until the mixture is crumbly.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the crumb mixture into the prepared pie plate and spread around until it covers the bottom. Do not press down.
- Stir ricotta cheese, sugar, and chocolate chips together with a rubber scraper until combined. Spread filling evenly over the base crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly on top of the ricotta layer, making sure that all of the ricotta layer is covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and continue to bake until the top is nicely browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Equipment:.
- Mini muffin tin.
- Rolling pin.
- Cooling rack and baking sheet.
- Pastry bag and large star tip.
- Directions:.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir to combine the ricotta, mascarpone, vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll thawed pie dough into a thin round. Use a 2 1/2 -inch round cutter to cut out circles. Press rounds into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased mini muffin tin. Spray the pie dough lightly with cooking spray and bake until golden and crisp, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, microwave to melt 1 cup mini chocolate chips with vegetable oil, stirring to combine well. Working one at a time, dip the cooled pie shells into the chocolate, coating the top rim and letting excess drip off. Transfer to a wire rack fitted over a sheet tray and sprinkle edges with pistachios or sprinkles. Leave a few with plain chocolate. Let chocolate dry, about 15-20 minutes.
- Fill shells with cannoli filling, piping into a star shape, and top with pistachios, sprinkles and mini chocolate chips.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and cannoli shells.
- Make sure the ricotta cheese is well drained before using it. This will help to prevent the filling from being too watery.
- If you don't have any cannoli shells, you can use wonton wrappers or puff pastry dough instead.
- Be careful not to overfill the cannoli shells. Otherwise, the filling will ooze out.
- Dip the cannoli shells in melted chocolate or icing before serving. This will give them a delicious and festive look.
Conclusion:
Cannoli pie bites are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious treat that everyone will love.
