If you do not have cannoli tubes, you can make your own by forming a piece of tin foil around a dowel or broomstick like rod. Wrap it around a few times so it is sturdy, then slide off. See photos in the post. Spray each tube with a bit of oil so they don’t stick.
Cut each of your flatbread rectangles into 6 equal pieces by cutting down the middle long ways first, then making 3 cuts short ways to get 6 rectangular, squarish pieces.
Put the milk in one bowl, and mix the rest of the cannoli shell ingredients in another bowl (sugar, cocoa, espresso and salt).
Dip each small flatbread piece in the milk, allow it to soak a bit, then coat it in the topping. I use a spoon to spoon the topping over the wet flatbread piece and shake off the excess.
Then wrap each piece of coated flatbread around the cannoli tube (or the one you made like me) and put it seam side down onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. You could also secure with a toothpick but it was easier for me to just place it seam side down to hold it in place. It should be soft enough to hold together well.
Bake at 350 F/175 C for 25 minutes or until crispy.
While these are baking, make the filling. Put all filling ingredients, except the chocolate chips, into a food processor and blend until soft and smooth.
Add the chocolate chips and blend until chopped a bit and well combined.
Put the mixture in the fridge to thicken and settle.
When the cannoli shells are done, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool completely before removing them from the tubes, about 20 minutes.
Using a plastic bag with the corner cut off or a pastry bag, fill each cannoli shell with the chocolatey filling mixture. You can decorate with more chocolate chips, powdered sugar, cocoa powder or whatever else you want!
Eat right away, if you leave them too long they can get soft.
