9 ounces powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon orange extract

Directions

Mix the Ricotta Impastata with the sugar.
Pass the entire content through a sieve so that you obtain a very creamy and velvety mix.

Recipe Notes

PS: If you cannot find Ricotta Impastata, you can use regular Ricotta, but you need to drain some water from it before you can use it. You can do this by putting the Ricotta in cheesecloth for 2 days and let it drain. Of course you keep it in the refrigerator while you are doing this operation.
