Ingredients
450 g strawberries, hulled and sliced
3 tbsps amaretto or orange liqueur
150 ml double cream
70 g icing sugar
225 g ricotta cheese
1 tsp ground cinnamon
60 g unsalted pistachios, chopped, optional
24 amaretti cookies, crushed
Miniature plain chocolate chips, optional
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries and amaretto. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whip the cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form (tips curl). In a medium bowl, stir half of the whipped cream into the ricotta to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream and cinnamon. Fold the pistachios into cream mixture.
Step 3
Place a layer of crushed amaretti cookies in each of 4 parfait glasses. Top each with a layer of strawberry slices and then cannoli cream. Repeat layering. If desired, top with miniature chocolate chips.
