Once in Naples airport I tried to buy cannoli to bring home, from a famous pastry shop who assembled them in front of you. They asked to see my boarding pass. Since it would have taken me more than 4 hours to get home, they refused to sell them to me, as they would have become soggy. They agreed to sell me a couple, to consume right there in the shop. They take their cannoli very seriously.

[@mygetawayart]

oh yes absolutely. Also, if you wanna bring them with you on the airplane, Cannoli shells are allowed, but ricotta isn't because it's considered a liquid so TSA won't allow it in. At duty free though, you could find some but it will be overpriced and not as good.

[@zanizone3617]

@@mygetawayart yes, it was the same in Naples too. The pastry shop is in the area after the safety controls. In fact I bought several other pastries, with ricotta and various creams, to bring on the plane home. I later discovered that the owner belongs to a dinasty of renown pastry cooks of the city, and their original shop, still in operation to this day, was founded in the 1780's. No wonder they are stickers for rules and tradition.

[@Flometis]

In Sicily they usually sell the empty shell and the ricotta filling separately to keep them from getting soggy.

[@HellcatM]

There is a place out here in LA that will ship you the shells and the filling and you just fill them yourself.

[@stefanob.6551]

I remember I went on a school trip in Siracusa. There I got into a pastry shop in Ortigia (the insular part of Siracusa) and asked them for some cannoli to bring back with me to Avellino (a little town where I live, near Naples, about eight/nine hours driving far from Siracusa). I explained to them I was afraid that the shells would've become mushy and the ricotta rancid, so they've been very, very kind to me and packed all separated: the shells in a tray so that they wouldn't crumble all apart, the pistachios in a little bag, the sugar in another one, and the ricotta in an ice cream holder. It took nearly half an hour to them, but they did it! About twelve hours later I put everything together and ate my own cannoli fresh as they were just taken out from the pastry shop kitchen! This demonstrates how much love Sicilians put in their own food traditions, especially when they see someone who's interested!

[@NiacinWaterTaffy]

There's probably a million cannoli recipes out there but when it comes from Eva I feel like I'm being let in to a secret Italian kitchen with the *real* recipe.

[@danielarusso4824]

And it's so!😉😊

[@robinlondrow9263]

Thank you for saying what I wanted to say.

[@Coasterdude02149]

Exactly

[@reginachristensen7527]

Eva and harper, the couple that brought authentic Italian cuisine in the USA. 🇮🇹😘🇺🇸

[@MrGilRoland]

Harper: “What about tiramisu?” Eva: “Tricky question, you’re dismissed”.

[@johnscimeca8479]

It's you want the recipe how to make tiramisu buy a bag of ladyfingers cookies and the recipes on the bag

[@blockbusteryo]

Panna Cotta isn’t happy about this

[@fiorenzodebastiani461]

Cannoli are very good, but I agree with the taste of Harper: the best dessert in the world Is tiramisù.

[@THillick]

[@abhishekiyer5676]

I heard Marsala wine as "masala wine" and had to see it again. Even after having lived in italy (Napoli), I guess the Indian in me will never die 😁. Your videos remind me of my times in Italy. Grazie mille.

[@FAQIvan91]

Masala wine 😂 Kinda spicy?

[@titanus49]

Marsala is in Western Sicily ,part of the city of Trapani. The name is derived from the fortified wine, that the locals in Marsala make.

[@petermccrindle7033]

I don't have a sweet tooth (I'd usually dive into a bunch of fresh fruit instead of "dessert").. BUT I'd make an exception every time for authentic Cannoli or homemade Tiramisu (with a hot cup of Italian coffee, of course).. and YOUR Cannoli, Eva, look fabulous!!

[@jayjaysss]

Eva's instructions are getting much more elaborate and have a richer vocab! good job

[@jeanneamato8278]

My dad made these for me when I was young. He bought a metal pipe and cut it to lengths. His parents were Sicilian and again you bring memories to my eyes. Thank you. 🙏❤️🇮🇹

[@RH-hy7we]

My mom bought a wooden dowel and had my father cut it and sand the wood. This was in the 60s, when it was almost impossible to buy molds in the US. She and my aunts would make them every Christmas.

[@sharifahodge9576]

I’ve been waiting forever for Eva to show me how to make homemade awesome cannoli! ❤️

[@sharendonnelly7770]

OH YUM! Ashamed to admit it, but I have NEVER had cannoli. Now I know what I've been missing! Thank you Eva and Harper for introducing me to what cannoli are, and giving me the opportunity to create my own in the traditional Italian way.

[@mariasaldivar1621]

I love all of recipes. Especially making the Pastas and Deserts. Right now I am practicing eating the Cannolis! Thank you

[@MelvisVelour]

When we were in Taormina, we were forced to attend some vapid evening of light operetta (use your imagination as to how bad this was) and the only redeeming thing was the incredibly fresh cannoli that had been fried on bamboo sticks that had been used for decades and filled to order to keep the captive audience from storming the palazzo. There is nothing in the world like a true cannolo...mille grazie Eva!

[@dirtmcgirt6531]

"You don't have to do this. It's just one of my best me memories." So no pressure...

[@patriciaherman6499]

I love cannoli. My first taste was at my Uncle's ( he was Sicilian) he bought them at an Italian bakery in the city. Always wanted to learn how to make them. Thank you will be making them soon. Love your cooking videos. 😊🇱🇷

How did I ever miss this video. Simple and beautiful recipe. Thank you Eva

Those look incredible. My favorite thing on the planet. I'm lucky enough to have an authentic bakery 10min from my house that still uses great grandmas recipes. They fill the shell by the order so they stay nice and crisp! Now I need to try making them myself.

What excellent ideas to make chocolate 🍫 and even a pistachio!!! You two are among the best, so happy and positive- thinking! Fwiw- my wedding cake from years ago was a marble cake with vanilla frosting and the top of the cake was a pound cake with berry filling and vanilla frosting as well!! It was sweet and tasty and everyone was happy with it. Your cannolis look equally as fabulous. Thank you for sharing. Again, thank you.

as much as I love seeing your guys' chemistry, I do like this video too for the clear instruction. something with more detail like this would be good for how you make the pan pizza. the video that your website points to for making pan pizza is the dominoes video and making the pizza at the end goes by so fast that you can barely tell what's going on love the videos!

[@luxaeterna31]

Eva thank you for this step by step recipe! I will drain now my ricotta in the future when I make cannoli to avoid a soggy result. Store bought shells do not have the depth of flavor, as your cocoa infused ones do, as in your recipe. I also have a pizzelle maker that I do use as a substitute cannoli shell. I use a teaspoon of anisette in the dough for added flavor. The cannoli appears lighter but must be served promptly to avoid sogginess, as the shell is thinner. I will definitely try your method!

I just ordered the cannoli tubes in your description box. I grew up in Miami and the small Cuban bakery in my neighborhood always had cannolis. There was a large Italian community in Cuba, mostly Havana, who were forced to emigrate when Fidel Castro decided to destroy the beautiful island. So, this Cuban in Wisconsin will soon be making cannolis using Eva's recipe. Grazie y gracias.

[@necrogenesis1981]

Cannoli reminds me of Summer, I have them other times but I always got them at the beach especially. I like them with chocolate chips and I've also had them with sprinkles. I know it's not traditional but I also sometimes like it with chocolate syrup or fruit syrup on top or for dipping. It makes it a bit more messy of course but it's so good.

"Even the sea without wise men is an expanse" ??? I LOVE Cannoli, and I love your videos. You guys are a treasure and I enjoy watching you both very much, keep up the good work. There was an older woman that, prior to Covid, used to have a stand at a farmers market in the U-District in Seattle Washington. She sold the most beautiful cannoli I've ever had in my life. I'm not a man of the world so have no comparisons, but this video is the way I would like to think that she would have made hers. Simple, perfect, delicious. When the market would open on Saturday mornings, a line would form IMMEDIATELY in front of her stand and literally within an hour her cannoli were sold out. It's been some time since I've been to that market, and your video has inspired me to visit the market for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. I pray that she's still there.

[@Maria-vn6qs]

It looks so delicious, I have never tasted cannoli and hope to taste soon. Thank you for sharing your recipe. And as we say here in our island 🇵🇷 Buen Provecho 👩🏻‍🍳

[@momuv6980]

*sigh* At 65 y.o., I have never had cannoli. I know, I know . . . but in my defense, I grew up in Vermont, with a very mongrel heritage, not strongly ethnic nor any amazing cultural background, a smattering of English, Irish, Scottish, Native Indian. Basic food, home cooked, but under-seasoned and not very exciting. (Although I can make a macaroni and cheese that will knock your socks off. But I digress. . .) Your vids, apart from being darling and so much fun, have awakened the adventurer in me. As soon as I have a fully stocked, legit kitchen, I'm going to be going Italian in a big way! Love you guys . . . and I want to adopt Eva!😁❤️❤️🤗
