Ingredients

1kg Traditional Ricotta
200g caster sugar
100g minced candied orange peel
100g grated dark chocolate
30ml Strega
1 packed Sicilian cannoli shells
icing sugar, for dusting

Preparation

1 To make the cannoli mixture, scoop the Ricotta into a large mixing bowl. Using a large wooden mixing spoon, stir in caster sugar, candied fruit and chocolate. The Strega is optional, but just be sure not to add too much; otherwise filling will run in the cannoli shells.
2 Pipe or spoon the Ricotta filling into the shells and place on a serving dish. Dust with icing sugar just prior to serving.
3 Tip: It is best to create the mixture and store overnight so that the fruit, chocolate and liqueur flavours have time to permeate the ricotta.
