Dried Cherry and Ginger CannoliGary Moss

For best results, use fresh ricotta, which is sold at Italian delis and specialty cheese shops. Avoid packaged brands that include gelatin and preservatives, as these can be watery and have a grainy texture. Prepared cannoli shells are sold at Italian markets.

Cooks' Note

*Italian cream cheese; available at many supermarkets and Italian markets.
