How to Make Fruit Salad With Cannoli Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, gently stir together 15 ounces ricotta cheese and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1/3 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the ricotta mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up and become creamier.
