The crumbled ricotta (there are those who call it sbrisolona, but it's a term used more in the North) it is easy to prepare, you just have to be careful slurry phase: you do not get a compact dough, pressing the mixture as for the pastry, but a coarse compound in large crumbs (hence the name).

You can keep it, blanket and at room temperature (in an unheated environment) for 3-4 days, but will definitely before.

As for the stuffing, among the alternatives I know that it is very fashionable one with Nutella, but I'd rather prepare at home a nice chocolate ganache and stuff it with that.
