HOW TO MAKE IT :
- For the filling, mix ricotta with mascarpone and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth. Beat in almond extract. Fold in candied oranges. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until ready to use.
- To serve, pipe filling into cannoli shells. (I dipped the ends of my shells in melted Ghirardelli dark chocolate and allowed to harden). Sprinkle with chocolate chips, sprinkles, pistachios, or powdered sugar. Eat immediately! Enjoy!
Notes
- Cannoli shells can be found in the Italian food section of most large grocery stores. You can use as is, or dip the ends in melted chocolate!
- Orange peel candy can be made using my recipe, or use tiny pieces of orange slice candy found in the candy aisle.
