Place the ricotta cheese in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and let it drain for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and orange zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in half of the chopped pistachios into the ricotta mixture.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Dip the ends of each cannoli shell into the melted dark chocolate, then immediately dip into the remaining chopped pistachios. Place the shells on a parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate set.
Fill a piping bag with the ricotta mixture and pipe the filling into both ends of each cannoli shell until full.
Optionally, sprinkle extra pistachios on the exposed filling for garnish.
Serve immediately for best texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
