Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 0.5 cup Red wine
• 2 cups Vegan ricotta
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
• 4 cups Cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Cut the vegan butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to combine until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 3

Gradually add the red wine while mixing, until the dough starts to come together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 4-5 minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles using a 4-inch cutter.

Step 6

Wrap each circle around a cannoli form, sealing the edges with a little water.

Step 7

Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shells in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Let cool.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, combine vegan ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips into the ricotta mixture.

Step 10

Once the shells are completely cool, transfer the filling into a piping bag with a large tip. Pipe the filling into both ends of each shell.

Step 11

Optional: Dust with additional powdered sugar or dip the ends in vegan chocolate chips before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Classic Italian Cannoli!
