How it's made

2. Roll the dough very thin and cut into 4-inch circles.
3. Wrap each around a cannoli tube and seal the edge with egg white.
4. Fry in 350 F (175 C) oil for 1 to 2 minutes until blistered and golden, then cool and remove tubes.
5. Beat ricotta with powdered sugar until smooth and fold in chocolate chips and zest.
6. Pipe the filling into the shells just before serving and dip the ends in pistachios.
