Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 2 cups
• Granulated sugar - ¼ cup
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Marsala wine - ½ cup
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Ricotta cheese - 2 cups
• Powdered sugar - 1 cup
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Mini chocolate chips - ½ cup
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Instructions

1. 1.

   In a bowl, mix flour and granulated sugar. Add the vegetable oil, Marsala wine, and beaten egg to form a dough.

2. 2.

   Knead the dough until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

3. 3.

   Roll out the dough thinly and cut into circles. Wrap each circle around a metal cannoli tube and seal the edges with a little beaten egg.

4. 4.

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough-wrapped tubes until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and let cool, then carefully slide off the tubes.

5. 5.

   In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in mini chocolate chips.

6. 6.

   Pipe the ricotta filling into the cooled cannoli shells just before serving.
