cheese filling

Inside a manicotti

Cheese filling is a soft, spreadable mixture used inside pastries, pasta, or other foods.

It typically combines cheese—often ricotta, cream cheese, or mascarpone—with seasonings and sometimes egg to bind it: The cannoli had a sweet ricotta cheese filling, She piped the cheese filling into the manicotti shells.
