This recipe was discovered during an ethnic food night adventure to Italy. Check out my other blog for more ethnic food night adventures - http://thetraveliciouskitchen.tumblr.com/ This cannoli cream was can be found in Giada's Everyday Italian cookbook. WOW!! It's absolutely perfect over fresh fruit.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream plus 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
pinch of cinnamon
slivered almonds
fresh fruit of your choice
Directions:
1. Stir together ricotta with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.
2. In a separate bowl use an electric mixer to beat 1/3 cup of heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and a pinch of ground cinnamon until semi-firm peaks form. (This take awhile but it's well worth the time!)
3. Fold the ricotta/cream mixture into the whipped cream and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Spoon the cannoli cream over fresh fruit and top with slivered almonds.
