Holy Cannoli Trifle

I have been seeing a lot of recipes lately using cannoli cream,,,,,Cannoli's are one of my familys favorite Italian desserts!!.....Well I had bought some Lady Fingers (spongy soft  kind) and was going to make something else with them,and just figured why not make a Trifle out of them with a cannoli cream filling! I have also made these as an individual dessert,,,The choice is yours!,,,,Also if you can't find Lady fingers I am sure you could use pound cake (cubed),,,,Here is what I did!,,,,Enjoy!

2 Packages soft Lady fingers

 

2 C ricotta cheese

1 17.5 oz container Marscapone cheese**

1 C confectioners sugar

1/2 t cinnamon

**Marscapone is like an Italian cream cheese,,,It can be found in most Italian

Specialty markets it comes in a plastic tub like cream cheese does!
