For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality ricotta cheese and ensure it is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy filling. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the cannoli. If you don't have amaretto liqueur, vanilla extract or almond extract are excellent substitutes. Fill the cannoli shells just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy. If you need to prepare them in advance, store the filled shells in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than a few hours. Experiment with other toppings like chopped pistachios, candied citrus peel, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
