Fold in the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract.
- Mold in individual molds and turn out onto a serving plate, or place a 1/2 cup mound in the center of 8 dessert plates. Surround with fresh fruit. Makes 8 servings.

Steps:
- Place the ricotta in a mixing bowl and whip it with an electric mixer or a whisk until smooth.
- Place the heavy cream in a mixing bowl and whip it while adding the sugar a little at a time, until well incorporated.
- Fold the whipped cream into the ricotta, then add the following ingredients 1 at a time, mixing carefully: almonds, pistachios, lemon zest, orange zest, and chocolate.
- Refrigerate until serving, but don't let it sit for more than 1 hour, or it will lose its fluffiness. Add the strawberries just before serving so that they don't "bleed out" and color the dish.
RICOTTA AND CANDIED FRUIT PUDDINGS
This recipe was adapted from Richard Sax's ricotta Bavarian, in his book _Classic Home Desserts_. The pudding's flavor is similar to cannoli filling, but it has the lightness of Bavarian cream. It's important to use fine-quality candied fruit.*

Steps:
- Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small saucepan and let soften.
- Beat together whole egg, yolk, and sugar in a small metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer until blended. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and beat with mixer until pale, thick, and tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. (Mixture should mound when dropped from beaters.) Remove bowl from heat.
- Heat milk over low heat, stirring, just until gelatin is dissolved, then beat into egg mixture.
- Blend ricotta in a food processor just until smooth. Add fruit, chocolate, zests, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and pulse until blended, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in one third of egg mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining egg mixture gently but thoroughly.
- Beat cream in a bowl with cleaned beaters just until it holds soft peaks, then fold into ricotta mixture gently but thoroughly. Spoon into lightly oiled ramekins and chill, covered, until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Run a knife around edge of each ramekin, then dip ramekin into a bowl of hot tap water 10 seconds. Invert a plate over each ramekin, then invert pudding onto plate.
