Ingredients
- 150g plain flour
- 50 g butter, melted
- 150 ml of water
- 30g of dark or white chocolate chips or finely chopped dark or white chocolate
- 2 tablespoons of anise liqueur (avoid if there are any allergies)

- 200 ml of vegetable oil for frying
- 250 ml of ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons of honey

Directions
-
Start by preparing the dough. In a bowl, mix the flour and the melted butter until a homogeneous mixture, then add the water, stirring constantly until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Keep stirring and knead the dough until it is smooth, then cover with a cloth and set aside for 10 minutes.
-
After 10 minutes, take the dough and roll it out into a sheet about 3mm thick, then cut it into circles of 10 cm in diameter.
-
Place the circles of dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and let the circles of dough cool completely before filling.
-
Now it’s time to fill the Cannoli. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, honey, chocolate chips, anise liqueur, and rum (if not allergic).
-
In a pot, heat the vegetable oil, then fry the dough circles in batches for about 2 minutes per side, turning them with a slotted spoon. Joke time : Let’s fry the Cannoli, or else they’ll get really annoyed!
-
Remove from heat, let the Cannoli cool down and fill them with the ricotta cheese mixture.
-
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve!
