Pulse cannoli shells in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Add sugar, cracker crumbs and melted butter; pulse just until combined. Press onto bottom and sides of a greased 9 inch. pie plate. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Filling:
Beat first four filling ingredients until blended; beat in ricotta cheese and both extracts; stir in chocolate chips. Spread onto crust. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 4 hours.

If desired, top with pistachios.

8 servings.

*Pistachios are classic in cannoli. But if desired, you can substitute and add crunch by topping the pie with crumbled cannoli shells or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or mini-chocolate chips.
