Ricotta cannoli cream cups
The filling without the shell, which is the half that was always worth eating — and draining the ricotta overnight is what takes it from wet to the texture of whipped butter.

Method
6 steps · 20 minutes
- Drain the ricotta in a strainer lined with a kitchen towel, in the fridge, overnight. Supermarket ricotta is far wetter than the kind this was written for.
- Beat it with the erythritol, vanilla, cinnamon and orange zest until it is completely smooth. It takes longer than you expect.
- Whip the cream separately to soft peaks and fold it in. Beating cream into ricotta rather than folding gives you a grainy mixture that will not come back.
- Chop the chocolate into small shards and fold most of them through.
- Spoon into six small glasses and chill at least an hour.
- Chopped pistachios and the rest of the chocolate on top just before serving, so they stay crunchy.
