Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Whip the ricotta, either with a hand mixer, or a stand mixer. Whip until the ricotta reaches a heavy cream-like consistency. About 2 minutes.
- Sift the powdered sugar into the ricotta, and using a spatula, fold into the ricotta.
- Add cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to the ricotta mixture and fold in.
Notes
- Optional: Once you've made your cannoli filling, you can add chocolate chips or nuts like pistachios to the cannoli filling, or even candied orange peel.
- If you're making cannoli with the cannoli cream, I suggest buying the cannoli shells. It makes things so much easier and convenient.
