"I found this recipe online, and it is important to note that cannoli shells are not used, but instead tortillas. I think that this recipe would be nice with cannoli shells, and will try it out that way, and bake them."

ingredients

2 cups canola oil
8 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons cinnamon
¹⁄₃ cup raw sugar
1 -2 cup melted chocolate
1 cup your favorite nuts, very finely diced
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup peach jam, the kind that has fruit pieces in it

directions

Heat oil, moderately hot, about 190c.
Roll up tortillas loosely and fasten with a wooden toothpick to create a shell, form so hollow in centre (like a brandy snap) then fry a few at a time until they are golden brown.
Mix cinnamon and sugar.
Mix together ricotta and jam.
While shells are still warm roll in cinnamon sugar , holding one of the ends, dip in melted chocolate and roll in finely diced nut pieces.
Fill the cannolis with the ricotta jam mixture.
These are best filled with a pastry bag. But a table knife, heaped with mixture and slid in will work.
Dip and roll the other end in chocolate and nuts.
Add you favorite topping.

We love to eat :) I'm an island girl living in Seattle, WA who loves to cook! I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, and I don't find many things more satisfying than sharing food and good memories with them. Plus they always seem to be hungry--perfect! <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
