While the dough rests, prepare the filling by mixing the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the dark chocolate chips and candied orange peel. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the cannoli shells, a few at a time, until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool, then carefully remove the shells from the tubes.
