Troppo buona tanti auguri a tutti voi di una serena e felice Pasqua

Grazie caro Dino! Ricambio con tanto affetto! 💖

14:49 😂🥰 that’s why ppl love watching your videos bc you keep it real! Love this moment

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so so much. I finally replaced the rolling pin. 💕💕💕

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

@@alessandrasfoodislove I just showed that segment to my mom tonight and she loved everything about it. She said you remind her so much of her cousin, who moved away when she was young and she misses. So watching you is like getting to be with her for a few minutes. That made me so glad as at her age it’s a little harder to get around. Although to be honest I wish I was built like her generation as she still runs circles around me! 😆 She’ll be happy to hear you replaced the rolling pin as she related to what happened!

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

@@thinkofsomethingcooler thank you for sharing. I’m Presently with my 84 year old mother and it pains me to see her slowing down. Tell your mom I hope her cousin was beautiful! lol I’m sure she was but doesn’t mean I am. 💕 So many recipes to do but so little time. I promise I will keep going because it’s messages like yours that warm my heart and make it all worth it. Un bacione a te e mamma. Con affetto Alessandra

Hi Alessandra. I haven’t seen you here on KZbin in a long while. This just popped up on my feed and I was so excited to see you. I thought I saw all of you videos but somehow missed this and I will be making this.

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

@@alessandrasfoodislove hi Alessandra! For some reason I didn’t get the alert for your comment but only the comment after it that just posted today. So I asked my mom about her cousin (although I knew what the answer would be) and she said: “oh yes she was very beautiful, inside and out”. So ofc this is why you make her so happy. As for our strong beautiful moms slowing down with age, yes it can hurt the heart to realize they are slowing down. I often forget my moms age until I notice something that of course she will never complain about I have to ask. You’ve definitely brought me closer to her when she’s feeling tired and not very social so for this you have my undying gratitude. God Bless you and your mom who raised a beautiful daughter

[@Jilli-yb2tn]

Gorgeous. Beautiful to look at, must be wonderful to eat. Loved the little snippet about the hand-softening lard. I'd have never EVER thought of anything like that, and it's just such a warm story to tuck away in your memory. (also love your pink pretty nails!) Can't tell you how much I enjoy watching you. Your family is so lucky!! 💕

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so very much Roma! I’m always fascinated with hands. It’s one of the things I remember about my nonna. She had strong beautiful hands. 💖 I always look forward to your messages. 💖 Buona Pasqua 🐣

Another great recipe. I make these all the time. I don't use the Strega but rather I use Amaretto. Also never used chocolate chips but that looks good and I might try them. Have a Happy Easter, Buona Pasqua to you and your family.

A slice of heaven is how ThiSGirL would describe your beautiful work of edible Art. I agree with you Alessandras, about using your hands to create such a masterpiece. ThiSGirL, truly loves her kitchen gadgets and is always looking for another one to tickle her fancy, but there is something about the way my mother would make this cake by hand and as i grew up i had the pleasure of making it with her and thats where the love is. I’m glad you kept the runaway rolling pin in the video it keeps it real. It was the perfect ending and just in the finishing knick of time too. ThiSGirL cannot wait to try your recipe, the recipe in my family is a little different and it comes from my father’s nonna Jemma. Have a Happy Easter and may the Love of CHRIST be with you and your family. Jeannie

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Dear Jeannie, Thank you so much! Yes, good thing I was done with rolling. Would’ve used a glass bottle to finish the job. Remember my nonna doing that. I love kitchen gadgets too. This recipe is easy and no fancy mixers needed. Our hands can do it all. 💖 Thank you. Blessed Easter to you too. I’m currently in Spain. Saw the procession for Holy Thursday. Was so moving. Tonight hope to see the Good Friday ones. 💖🙏🏻💚🤍♥️

[@jeanniemariecaruso2853]

@@alessandrasfoodislove WOW! Spain how wonderful. My Father’s grandpa, nonno Joe’s mother, is from Spain. Story goes his father went to Spain to look for work and fell for a pretty women there, brought her back to Italy and married her. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

@@jeanniemariecaruso2853 that sounds like a beautiful love story. So far I’m in love with Madrid. 🇪🇸♥️

[@Navygrl58]

I would love to make this dessert for Easter but the only thing holding me back is I cannot find candied fruit that looks like you have in this video! I too live in New Jersey and I’ve checked out four different Italian markets between Christmas and now and none of them have candied fruit, except those pre-cut, waxy, chemical laden pieces which I dare not put into any dessert. Maybe you can make a video in the future to show us how to make candied orange and lemon peel, that would help a lot for the holidays for all of us who can’t get the candied fruit like you have. God bless and thank you for these wonderful videos!

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

I will do a video recipe on it. Thank you so much for watching.

[@feliciabarosa7613]

Happy Easter

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

Do you have a recipe for making your own candied fruit? Those are absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Not yet! Hope to be doing a recipe with family in italy that does candy their fruit

[@joannjacquin4983]

This looks so delicious! Could you share a link to where you purchased the candied fruit please?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much. I’m either get it at my local italian market or even at my supermarket. I’m in New Jersey and ShopRite sells it. Hope this helps. 💕

[@joannjacquin4983]

@@alessandrasfoodislove oh, we are not too far away… I live in upstate New York. The grocery stores where I live, only seem to carry the pre-diced fruit, and usually only at Christmas time. And I’ll have to check with the Italian market that we go to about an hour away.

[@Navygrl58]

@@joannjacquin4983. I saw your comment I wanted to tell you I’m in the same position you are, the grocery stores sell that waxy, tasteless, chemical laden fake candied peel! I’ve used it in different recipes and it literally comes out the same way you put it in the desert hard and tasteless. If you happen to find anybody who does have good candied fruit, let me know please. I’m over here in New Jersey and I’ve yet to find any Italian market that has the candy fruit like on this video. It’s the only thing holding me back from making this dessert. Good luck!

[@sylviaseri4235]

Look’s delish! Is it possible to make this without a crust? My daughter has celiac disease and has to eat gluten free. All the gluten free crust recipes I have tried are terrible. So I am looking for a gluten free, no crust ricotta cheesecake recipe for her.

Are there any substitutions for all the delicious candied fruit??? I can’t find this stuff

Hi Debra, Use Maraschino cherries. Just drain the juice out. Sometimes liquor stores will sell the cherries. Hope this helps buona Pasqua 🐣

What would you consider to be a very good ricotta if I can’t get impasta. Thank you.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Try to get a ricotta that only has a few ingredients. Milk, vinegar and salt. Some add a little cream and that’s good too. If too watery remember to drain it overnight in a cheese cloth or tight mesh colander

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much for watching
