Based on Veggies Don't Bite's Chocolate Mocha Cannoli recipe
Cannolis are an Italian pastry in the form of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing ricotta—a staple of Sicilian cuisine. It takes quite a while to prepare traditional cannolis from start to finish.
