Make Delicious & Easy Cannoncini (Italian Cream Horns) Like A Nonna (e97)

Buon Giorno A Tutti! In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), demonstrates her cannoncini recipe. Cannoncini are Italian cream horns - similar to cannoli, but with a soft, puff pastry shell. Best, of all, they are very easy to whip up and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients: 12 cannoncini
Shells:
- 1 thawed puff pastry sheet
- granulated sugar for the work surface & sprinkling
- spray / butter / oil to grease the tubes/horns
- 1 egg for the egg wash
Crema Pasticcera / Italian Pastry Cream:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 1 cup of milk (warmed)
- zest from half a lemon*
Sprinkle your work surface with granulated sugar, place your puff pastry sheet on the board and sprinkle more on the top surface. This will help it from sticking to your board. With a rolling pin, extend the four sides each about one inch. Then cut the pastry into strips about an inch wide - cut 12 strips. You will want to work swiftly so that the dough doesn't get too warm and stick to the work surface.
Grease/spray your tubes so that the pastry comes off the tubes easily once baked. You can use stainless steel cannoli or horn tubes, but Nonna likes using her tried and true bamboo cannoli tubes.
You want to wrap each ribbon around the tubes and place on parchment paper. Brush on the egg wash and sprinkle the granulated sugar on the shells. Bake for about 15 minutes at 400F - until shells have a golden colour. Allow the shells/tubes to cool somewhat to enable safe handling. Separate the pastry from the tubes.
Crema Pasticcera / Italian Pastry Cream:
In a small saucepan, stir 3 egg yolks, 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour and the zest of half a lemon. * The flavour/essence is up to you. You could add in orange zest, vanilla extract, Marsala, Strega, ... whatever flavour you are fond of. Then slowly add in 1 cup of warm milk until fully blended.
On medium heat, bring to a soft boil. It will only take about 5 minutes and then stir a couple more minutes to ensure a smooth consistency.
Transfer the cream to a glass bowl, cover and refrigeratel. Once cooled, spoon the cream into a bag, twist and snip off the tip large enough to squeeze the cream into the shells. Fill the tube half way, turn and fill the other half. Once complete you can dust the cannoncini with icing / powdered sugar and then they are ready to be enjoyed!
Buon appetito!

Buongiorno Nonna Mia! We love your videos soooooo much! We just came back from the vacation in Sicily and we found ourselves deeply addicted to everything in Italy🤩. The people, food, beautiful seeside, warm atmosphere... It's so hard for us to come back to normal life😌. But luckily we met you on KZbin!😄 The way you talk and cook is soooo relaxing, lively, cute and special!!!🤩 We feel that we are in Italy again while watching your video. And you also bring us the home feeling because you are really like our nonnas, cute talking style and top top cooking expert🤭 This encourages us so much especially during the corona situation. Thank you for your cute videos and brilliant recipes! We wish you stay healthy and happy everyday😄😄😄! Can't wait for your next video! Love from Stuttgart♥️♥️♥️ P.s. we found a dish called "Rollo di pollo" in Palermo. It was so delicious😋. Do you have the recipe for this? Looking forward to your reply😄😄😄

[@nonnamia7890]

Buon giorno cara - this is the sweetest message ever. Thank you so very much. I really appreciate you following my recipes. It makes me happy bella. Rollo di pollo - unfortunately I do not know. Keep smiling and cooking cara! xoxo

Hi Nona, they look so delicious. I am going to make these. If I use vanilla extract how much do I use?

[@nonnamia7890]

Sorry cara. I haven’t had much time lately. One teaspoon.

[@maryannhall8227]

I didn’t know you could bake the shells. I’m wondering if you could also bake cannoli shells?

[@nonnamia7890]

That is a good question cara - you won't get those lovely bubbles. I have never tried it, but it is worth an experiment if you don't mind a smooth texture. :-) Thank you for writing me. It is lovely that you took time to watch my video. xox

[@Patriot-up2td]

Nonna,,, where did you ever find that Caffé Calabria coffee mug???

[@nonnamia7890]

I’m so happy you noticed. It’s from Vancouver - their oldest Italian cafe now 40+ years old. Do you like it?

[@Patriot-up2td]

@@nonnamia7890 I do! I love it! It’s so Calabrese all the way! I just bought two bags of a really good gourmet coffee for a dear friend’s wife, and she’s Calabrian. It’s going to be a Christmas gift for her. I saw that awesome mug and thought it would pair great with the coffee for her. I found their website in Vancouver to see if I could buy one, but they don’t sell merchandise online. Oh well. Fantastic mug though, and really funny! I love great coffee mugs, and that one is a keeper!!!

[@oneitalia2312]

I wish i could be as happy as you always are. (( Nonna, I get very disappointed when I bake and cook something beautiful - just like you do - for the people I work for, and they never say "thank you". Do people always say "thank you" to you when yoy bake for them? It makes me not want to cook and bake for them. They don't say thank you (or "it was delicious". I drive home crying a lot. I work so hard.))

[@nonnamia7890]

Thank you for writing me bella. I’m sorry people aren’t more appreciative. But it’s important - it gives you joy to make and so good to give. Have a little celebration in your heart and keep smiling cara. 💛💛💛

How do I print the written recipe

[@nonnamia7890]

Thank you so much cara for subscribing and for writing me. I am unfamiliar with a print function off of KZbin but what I do when I see sthg I like is I copy and paste it to an email or document then print. Where you able to go to the description box for the full recipe?

[@pamwilson4767]

@@nonnamia7890 I am able to see the recipe but there is no option to copy, which is what I tried before looking to print it. I use an iPad and usually I just need to hold my finger on the area and copy that does not happen. It’s very time consuming to write it out but I guess that’ s what I’ll need to do.
