To make the cannoli dough, add the all-purpose flour, sugar, and plant-based butter to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the butter is the size of small peas.

Add the egg yolk and Marsala wine (or your chosen substitute) to the food processor. Pulse until a large dough ball forms.

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This allows the dough to rest and become easier to work with.

While the dough chills, prepare the cannoli filling. Add the chilled coconut cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.

Gently fold in the dairy-free ricotta, coconut yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into the whipped coconut cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.

Transfer the cannoli filling mixture to a piping bag and set aside. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.

Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400°F.

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out until it is approximately 1/8 inch thick.

Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the rolled dough. Gather and re-roll any scraps to cut more circles.

Carefully wrap each dough circle around a cannoli tube. If you don't have cannoli tubes, you can create your own by rolling up aluminum foil into a cylindrical shape.

Place the cannoli-wrapped tubes in the preheated air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. Air fry at 400°F for 5-7 minutes, or bake in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, until the shells are golden brown and crisp.

Carefully remove the hot cannoli shells from the molds and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This is crucial for maintaining their crispness.

Once the cannoli shells are completely cooled, pipe the dairy-free ricotta filling into each shell using the prepared piping bag.

Dip the ends of the filled cannolis into the dairy-free mini dark chocolate chips for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

If desired, dust the finished cannolis with additional powdered sugar before serving.

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade dairy-free air fryer cannolis!
