I need to get the filling thicker, and… yeah, my hand slipped with the powdered sugar. Oh well!
I kept them on the smaller/snack size. Is this too untraditional?
Any other feedback appreciated!

While maybe they do not look traditional, they look actually delicious. Nice job!

In Sicily they are usually much bigger, but this ‘mignon’ version can also be found in Italian pastry shops.
Your work looks very nice. The only thing I would add is candied orange peel.

Unless you’re very lucky, you can’t typically get real ricotta in the US. We get a type of farmer’s cheese really. I grew up with the real stuff made from goat or sheep milk after the first protein drop when making canestrato cheese. The real stuff is much drier and finer textured.
Anyway, here’s a trick to get store-bought ricotta very dry like impastata. Get a clean bath towel and place a cheese cloth over it. Spread the ricotta on the cheese cloth then wrap the bath towel around it. Put it in the fridge overnight.
