1 . Stage

Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions. Fill paper-lined jumbo muffin cups three-fourths full.

In a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, confectioners' sugar, Mascarpone cheese and extract until smooth. Fold in pistachios and the whipped cream.
