Need a quick and beautiful dessert to impress at your next dinner party? Who doesn't love cannoli cream??? Very simple recipe, let's run you through it...
First - Pepperidge Farm makes those cute puff pastry cups... spend the $4 and buy a box of 6.. they make for fabulous presentation. Follow instructions on the box and then let cool.
Second - Using an egg beater, blend 1 pint of ricotta cheese with 1 cup of confectioner sugar. At this point, you're pretty much done so its about flavor. I always add a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract and my favorite is to use mini chocolate chips and just add them and mix until I like the way the filling looks. You can also use different nuts, candied orange, different flavor chips... the possibilities are endless.
Third - For a little "professional looking" garnish - take a chocolate bar and run over a cheese grater for some chocolate shards to dust your desserts. Then add some fresh fruit and sliced almonds.
Voila - take a look!
And yes, it is as good as it looks!
