  2. Chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, soak the gelatin leaves into the juice of an orange and heat up in a saucepan or microwave to dissolve. Whisk ricotta till smooth and creamy then stir in the icing sugar, orange zest, chocolate chips and melted gelatin mixture.
  4. Next, whip the cream and gently fold in. Spread the mixture evenly on the cannoli base and allow to set and chill for at least 2 hours. When ready, remove from the cake tin and place onto a serving dish.
  5. Decorate the top with the reserved 2 crushed cannoli, orange zest, chocolate chips and pistachios.
