    5. Press gently to seal.
    6. 4. Heat 3-4 inches deep extra virgin olive oil in deep pan. Fry cannoli till golden, drain well on paper towels, & cold. Remove metal tubes.
    7. 5. Combine remaining part of egg with ricottta cheese, orange flower water, candied orange, & chocolate & blend well. Fill cannoli with cheese mix. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
