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