Once shells cool slightly, pipe or spoon filling into each shell.

Serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
Substitute ricotta with mascarpone for richer filling.
Add orange zest or vanilla extract to filling for extra flavor.
Use almonds or walnuts instead of pistachios.
Drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
