Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups ricotta, 0.5 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Fold in 0.25 cup of the chopped pistachios, reserving the rest for garnish. The filling should be thick and spreadable.
Step 3
Spoon the ricotta mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each of the 6 cannoli shells, filling from both ends to ensure even distribution.
Step 4
Dip the open ends of the filled cannoli into the remaining 0.25 cup chopped pistachios, pressing gently to adhere. Arrange on a plate.
Step 5
Dust the filled cannoli generously with extra powdered sugar (about 1 tablespoon) just before serving. Serve immediately for the crispiest shells.
