Cannoli Cream
Method
Cannoli Cream
Prepare Ricotta
In a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, drain the ricotta cheese for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Mix the Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained ricotta, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Whip Heavy Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
Fill the Cannoli
Using a piping bag, fill each cannoli shell with the ricotta cream mixture.
Garnish
Sprinkle the filled cannoli with crushed pistachios for garnish before serving.
