Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, add ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, cream cheese and goat cheese. Using an electric mixer with medium speed, beat the cheeses until well combined, smooth and creamy.
• 2. Turn the mixer speed to low, add powder sugar, ½ cup at a time and beat to combine. Turn the mixer off.
• 3. Divide cream into 4 equal portions and transfer each portion into 4 separate medium bowls.

CANNOLI FILLING

Steps:

• Whip the cream until stiff, add the sugar. Now you can add the candied fruit or the chocolate chips, or whatever you like!
• Fill the shells and dip ends in the grated chocolate. Some folks like ground pistachio nuts instead of grated chocolate - I've even seen cookie 'sprinkles' used. Dust the cannoli with confectioners sugar just before serving.
