Great, round and delicious.

1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur 12 cannoli shells 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 12 maraschino cherries

1 In a large bowl, stir ricotta cheese with 1 cup confectioners sugar until combined. Add almonds, chocolate chips and almond liqueur.

2 Carefully spoon into cannoli shells (or pipe from a pastry bag), filling from the center out.

3 Sprinkle individual serving plates with powdered sugar and cocoa, or sprinkle on cannoli. Garnish plates with cherries.

4 Note: 1/8 teaspoon almond extract mixed with 1 tablespoon water can be substituted for the almond liqueur.

One of my favorite recipes in the whole wide world! Absolutely delicious and yummy!!
