Quick and Easy Cannoli

Quick and Easy Cannoli Submitted by Marilyn

FILLING:
4 cups ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups confectioner's sugar
2 tsp. almond extract
¼ cup minced candied fruit
1 cup mini chocolate morsels
½ cup candied cherries, halved
4 tbls powdered sugar to sift

Drain ricotta of excess moisture. Mix ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, almond extract and candied fruit. Mix until well blended. Fold in chocolate morsels. Refrigerate to allow flavors to permeate and firm. Stuff shells shortly before serving to keep shells crisp. Place a cherry half on each end of cannoli and dust lightly with powdered sugar

This recipe makes enough filling for 18 large or 36 small shells. Shells are purchased at Lunardi's 6 large for $3 or 12 small for $3. Other specialty stores may have these, also.
