02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Prepare and Fill Cannoli

Start by mixing the ricotta cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar in a large bowl until everything is well combined. Then, fold in the chopped almonds, chocolate chips, and a splash of almond liqueur for extra flavor. Carefully spoon the filling into your cannoli shells—if you have a pastry bag, that works great for a neat finish. To serve, dust the cannoli (or the plates) with a little powdered sugar and cocoa powder. For a nice touch, add some fresh cherries on the side. Enjoy!

Cook's tip

- Chill the filling before assembling to make it easier to pipe.
