Recipe(tried): Runny Cannoli Filling Solution

You are using ricotta from the grovery store, correct? You have to choose one (I think Polly-O is good) that is NOT made with rennet. Also you must put it in a sieve overnight so the water drips off. Also, its not only ricotta, you have to use mascapone cheese (about 4 tbspoons to 1 cup ricotta) or regular cream cheese (the block kind not the whipped one) Try adding the cream cheese to the recipe you have, draining the ricotta first,whipping it together with the sugar in the miser: I use confectioner's sugar, this should work.
