Strain the ricotta cheese in cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel over a bowl for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Combine the strained ricotta cheese with the powdered sugar, cinnamon and orange zest in a food processor or blender.
Mix the ricotta cheese filling for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary, until it is smooth and fluffy.
Serve the cannoli filling as a dip alongside cannoli chips or use it to fill homemade or store-bought cannoli shells.
