This document provides a recipe for making cannoli using a KitchenAid stand mixer. It lists ingredients and instructions for making the pastry shells and ricotta cheese filling. The shells are made by mixing flour, sugar, salt and butter, then rolling the dough thin using the stand mixer's pasta roller attachment. The filling combines ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and optional additions like chocolate chips and cherries. It is mixed in the stand mixer and piped into the fried and cooled shells.

4. METHOD
TO MAKE SHELLS:
– In the KitchenAid Stand Mixer mix together flour, sugar and
salt using the flat beater. Start with No. 2
– Cut in the butter. Add the Egg yolk and mix at No. 2. Now stir
in the wine 1 tbsp at a time.
– Once the dough starts clinging on, stop and remove.
– Form a ball and let it stand for 30 minutes.
– Take the Pasta Roller attachment and fix it to the
Attachment hub.
– Flatten the dough and roll it paper thin (like Pasta) starting
with No. 1 and moving to No. 5.
– Make sure to dust the surface well with flour each time
before passing it through the roller.
– Once paper thin, put the dough on a well floured surface and
cut out circles (3 – 4 inches diameter).
– Roll each circle of dough around a metal tube, overlapping
the ends and press to seal. Flare out the edges slightly.
– Heat oil/shortening in a pan and deep fry the cannoli tubes
till all the sides brown out evenly.
– Remove and drain on kitchen towels with seam side down.
– Allow to cool and remove the cannoli tubes.

5. FOR FILLING
– Drain the Riccotta cheese if ricotta is watery.
– Combine the Ricotta cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in the Stand
mixer using a flat beater at speed 2.
– Squeeze Maraschino Cherries with paper towels to remove all liquid.
– Stir in the chocolate chips and cherries into the ricotta mixture.
– For a lighter filling, you may whip 1 cup of whipping cream to form stiff peaks
and fold into the filling mixture at this minute.
– Refrigerate and chill for about 30 minutes.
– Pipe the mixture into the cooled cannoli shells.
– Garnish the Cannoli by sprinkling powdered sugar on top.
Alternatively, melt some chocolate and dip the Cannoli edge in the chocolate
and refrigerate. Allow the chocolate to set and then use the cannoli shells.
