Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Make the cannoli dough

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the Marsala wine and eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2
Prepare the filling

In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract until smooth. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Fold the melted chocolate into the ricotta mixture.

3
Roll and fry the cannoli shells

Divide the chilled dough into 12 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 4-inch circle. Wrap each circle around a cannoli form, sealing the edges with a bit of water. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry the cannoli shells for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the shells from the oil and let them cool on a wire rack.

4
Crush the candy canes

Place the candy canes in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin.

5
Fill the cannoli

Once the cannoli shells have cooled, pipe the peppermint mocha filling into each shell using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.

6
Garnish and serve

Dust the filled cannoli with the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Dip the ends of each cannoli into the crushed candy canes. Serve the peppermint mocha cannoli immediately and enjoy the festive flavors!
