Christmas Cakes Filled with Ricotta and Candied Fruit

Method

1. In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the icing sugar until smooth.
2. Add the candied fruit and raisins (or chocolate chips if preferred) and stir to combine.
3. Quickly dip the Pavesini cookies in cold milk, one at a time, so they soften slightly.
4. Line a muffin tin with plastic wrap. Arrange the dipped cookies around the edges of each cavity, forming a cup.
5. Fill the center of each cookie cup with the ricotta mixture. Bring the cookies up around the filling and fold the plastic wrap to close, forming a dome.
6. Invert each tortino onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap.
7. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with fresh currants or other Christmas-themed garnishes.
