Directions
In a big bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the confectioners' sugar until everything is well combined and smooth. Stir in the almonds, chocolate chips, and a splash of almond liqueur for a little extra flavor. Carefully fill each cannoli shell by spooning the mixture in, starting from the center and working your way out—if you have a pastry bag, that works great too. To finish, dust the cannoli or the serving plates with a little powdered sugar and cocoa powder. For a pretty touch, add a few cherries on the side before serving.
Serving Combinations
Serve these with a cup of strong espresso or a glass of sweet dessert wine. They also pair well with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream on the side for added freshness and texture.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store the shells and filling separately if you want to keep them crisp longer. Once filled, cannoli are best eaten within a few hours. Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container and consume within two days.
