Ingredients

Directions

Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.

Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. In a bowl, combine mascarpone, ricotta, confectioners' sugar, chocolate chips, and toasted walnuts. Place cheese filling over half of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Seal the edges well by pinching the dough together.

Carefully drop into deep fryer and fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Let cool slightly before serving.

Alternately, preheat oven to 500 degrees F. If you have one, place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven.

Dust pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Place rolled out dough on peel. Top with filling and seal, as directed above. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until dough is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Basic Pizza Dough:

1 package active dry yeast

2 teaspoons sugar

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)

1/4 cup lard or vegetable shortening

3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

Olive oil

In an electric mixing bowl, whisk the yeast, sugar, water and lard together to make a paste. Add the flour and salt and mix, using a dough hook, until the dough comes away from the sides and crawls up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Grease the bowl with olive oil and place the dough back in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide dough in half. Roll the dough into balls, cover, and let the dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes. The dough is ready to be shaped.

Yield: dough for 2 (12-inch) pizzas

    I have made this recipe using a few other ingredients but it is TO DIE FOR!!!!! Mascarpone cheese is not available where I live so I substitute 8 oz cream cheese, 3 Tbsp sour cream and 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream for it. Also, to make things much easier I use a caned rolled pizza dough. I have also used packaged pizza crust that you just mix with water. SO much easier than making the pizza crust from scratch. Literally takes 15 minutes to make from start to finish if you bake it. This is one of the main recipes in my homemade recipe book.

    I was having a dinner of the old standard - meat balls and fresh pasta - I needed a dessert.

    This recipe caught my eye. I followed the recipe to the letter - just as supper was ending the buzzer rang - dessert was ready. I poped it out of the oven and let it rest on the sideboard for ten minutes. Coffee was served then the Cannoli Dessert Calzone was cut. The recipe claims this is a dessert for 2 or 3 people - my experience was that this is a killer dessert that will serve 5 easily. Everyone was in a chocolate/cheese stupor by the end of coffee.

    Well done
