Tips:

To make a smooth and creamy ricotta filling, it's important to use high-quality ricotta cheese. Look for ricotta that is fresh and has a smooth, velvety texture.
Allow the ricotta mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the ricotta cheese and sugar together with a fork until smooth.
This recipe can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the ricotta filling and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, thaw the filling in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.
Garnish the dessert with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey before serving.

It's a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese, and it's also a relatively inexpensive dessert to make.
