Turn out ends of dough to flair slightly. Fry two to three at a time in deep hot fat for about 1 minute or until lightly golden. Remove with tongs to paper towels to drain; let cool about 5 seconds; then slip out cannoli form, holding shell carefully. Cool shells before filling.

3. For the filling use ingredients 8 – end. Mix Ricotta, sugar and cinnamon oil with mixer. Fold in whipped cream and chocolate chips. Let set overnight. Do not mix after set.
