What is the difference between mascarpone and ricotta what is better?
No sugar or vanilla in the ricotta?
My grandmother used powdered sugar a pinch of cinnamon and a little vanilla. So my Dad told me I never knew her. I’m making these tomorrow for a family party on Sat that’s when I’ll fill them.
Hope they are yummy
My great grandparents moved here from Sicily. My great grandma was the sweetest. My grandparents spoke Italian. I grew up (and still do) pronouncing ricotta the Italian way, but for a long time after moving out, i didn't know ricotta pronounced the Italian way was the same thing as ricotta pronounced the American way and I'd go into the grocery store asking if they had ricotta (pronounced the Italian way) and they'd say, "we have rick-ah-tah," and i be like, "no that's not it. Thanks for your time." 😂😂😂 i went years without it before i realized it was the same thing. I didn't know there was any other pronunciation for it.
Now, I make my family's canoli recipe for my family, and it brings me back to living with my grandparents. ❤
I triee it the first time today, gosh the sheeps ricotta tastes so nasty to me
I always thought it was Mascarpone in the filling!
Love your video about the cannolie's. I would like to see more sweet recipes from Sicily plz.
Canolli get filled with Ricotta, mixed with Sugar, some Rum, and little piece of candid fruit
The best and really original recipe is flour, pork lard, a bit sugar, warm water and a,spoon of Vinegar..thats original and true
You didn't make your own ricotta? The title does say homemade…
I saw some beautiful cannoli today at a bakery here in Yuma. I know to ask questions. They were filled with Cream Cheese. No Ricotta in sight! Gasp… right???
I had THE BEST cannoli when I visited my Dad's town Marsala with " "a vera ricotta ri pecura" (sheep's milk ricotta). My father adds citrus to the ricotta. Love the vid.
why does everybody make such a big deal about getting thew water out with cheesecloth? Well if you don't have a cheesecloth, don't go out and buy it, and DON'T use your husband's t-shirt either. if you have kitchen paper towels, pull a sheet and place it on a plate, then toss your ricotta on it, fold it over onto the cheese and press, press, flip it onto a dry area, and press again. Maybe transfer it to another new sheet of towel, and press again to get it dryer. Done.
Fun fact: ⅓" is thicker than ¼"
For anyone in Portugal who can't find Marsala wine, an acceptable substitute is Madeira wine (Vinho da Madeira). It's not authentic, but it'll work, good luck
Make the filling with powdered sugar
I made millio n s of cannoli shells in my lifetime and we always used a good quality red wine vinegar
I'm researching now
I prefer dipping the ends into the chocolate chips instead of mixing them in.
Just wonderful!! I watched a good 20 videos on cannolis read a few different articles. I have had that cheese sitting in cheese cloth for about 40 hours trying to decide which one to try. I think your over all recipe is the best one, but I am going to have to use something different than Marsala… might spice it up with a little vanilla extract and red wine… should be fine (i hope). At any rate, thanks!!!
We also have Cannoli in Malta
Are the cannoli tricky to get off the cylinders once they are fried?
NO VANILLA? 🤔
Looks nice bravi
My Italian Grandma, loves the video, but said "you hurting her Italian ears when you say ricotta" I about died 😂😂
WOW are you the guy from gohsthunters or something like that, you look at lot like him. Great recipe all the same 😊
Can you please tell me where I can buy sheep ricotta? I’m in Boston. Thanks
Heard !! Chef!!
Billy, I LOVE your recipes…. But I’m confused, the math here doesn’t work 😟
800 g sheep’s milk ricotta or 3 cups
300 g sugar or 1 ½ cups (if 800 g is 3 cups, shouldn’t 400 g be 1 1/2 cups?)
250 g mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or ½ cup ( and still going by 800 g= 3 cups…shouldn’t 1/2 cup be 133 g?)…… confused 🫤
Real cannoli Sicilian have no eggs or cocoa
Good evening Bill, my name is Glen and I'm wondering is it feasible to get pizza dough that's already made in canisters at the grocery store then roll it out thinner cut it in circles and then bake it in the oven to make cannoli shells, looking for a little bit of adult supervision on this need your opinion, Thank You🙂😋👑🇺🇸
Sicily only uses a light red wine. Nothing else
Wow.. never knew how simple it was to make this version of cannoli cream, I usually have made it with half & half! But will definitely try it!
Thanks so much Chef!
Don't use peanut oil. I had read peanut oil was traditional but I found it left the shells a bit greasy in aftertaste and maybe not as crisp or bubbly. Refined coconut oil worked much better. However, I'm on the fence whether canola oil is better. My point is that if you're not having success, it could just be the oil.
Honestly, these don't seem to have much flavor to them. It really did taste like a cracker. I know the star is supposed to be the filling, but I'm really surprised that with the sugar and cocoa powder that there's not more flavor to the shell.
Your measurements in the recipe look less than what you're adding in the video for sugar and cocoa powder. Can you verify the recipe is using enough sugar? When I made them I didn't taste any sweetness to my shells. They definitely had a more fried taste even though they were only in the peanut oil for 30-40 seconds and drained on paper towels.
I haven’t tried those before
The hilarious thing is seeing you roll your sausage shaped shells and you fry the tight thin shells. What happened to yours?
Wrong, wrong, you do not mix the ricotta in a mixer and you some sweetness use powder sugar. ( a drop of amaretto and un table spoon of orange marmalade)
“Cannoli” is singular and plural (ahem)
Cannoli is plural
Mmm thats some good cannoli 😀
Vinnie would like this video 🙂
Thank you for your video!
That chef move with the flour throw…..😍
As a native Neapolitan, I thought Naples was the centre of the universe for cannoli. But after trying your recipe I am converted, these are the best cannoli I've ever tasted. Viva li Sicilia. Saluting from Australia
