Step 1

Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Spray 2 baking trays with oil.

Step 2

Cut each pastry sheet into 9 equal squares. Spray a cannelloni tube with oil. Place diagonally across the centre of a pastry square. Wrap pastry around tube. Place seam side down on the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining pastry and cannelloni tubes. Bake for 10 mins or until starting to brown. Remove from oven. Cool for 5 minutes and then slide off the cannelloni tube. Carefully return pastry tubes to the tray and bake for a further 15 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Filling: Meanwhile, use electric beaters to beat the ricotta, icing sugar and vanilla extract until just smooth.

Step 4

Use a piping bag to pipe the ricotta mixture into both ends of the cannoli. Sprinkle ends with almonds, chocolate and pistachios. Dust with extra icing sugar and serve.
