For the dough, mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the white wine, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 4-inch circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Carefully wrap each circle around a cannoli tube, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F. Fry the cannoli shells until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oil and let them cool on a paper towel-lined plate.
For the filling, mix together the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Fill a piping bag with the mixture and pipe it into the cooled cannoli shells. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and walnuts on top of the filling. Drizzle honey over the top for added sweetness.
This Greek cannoli recipe is a perfect balance of creamy and crunchy, with a touch of sweetness from the honey. Serve it as a dessert at your next dinner party or enjoy it as a special treat for yourself. No matter how you enjoy it, this delicious twist on the classic Italian cannoli is sure to become a favorite in your household.
