Cannoli Recipe

This traditional homemade cannoli recipe has a crisp flakey shell and a creamy luscious ricotta filling. No need to find an Italian bakery when you can make these at home!
RECIPE: preppykitchen....
These delicious Italian cannoli are one of my favorite things to eat. I love that creamy ricotta filling paired with the crispy fried shell. You can add candied fruit, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips to the filling but either way it’s going to be great! Let me know in the comments what your favorite filling is!

They look beautifuuuul but, as a sicilian, I feel the necessity to make some corrections 😂: in the dough we add some cocoa powder (which give them the characteristic brown color and the slightly bitter taste) and some vinegar (it helps to give even more crunchiness to the crust!). Also we use to mix the ricotta with the sugar the day before, let them sit in order to make the moisture come out and finally we sift the mixture to make it smoother (then we add the chocolate chips). Hope it was helpful!

[@PreppyKitchen]

I love all of these tips! Thank you!

[@UsernameUnkwn21]

Yes.. vinegar is a must

[@amandaellis7366]

How much vinegar to use? Sifting the mixture the filling or the flour mixture?

[@carmelapuglisi7736]

That what i wanted to say . Sime cocoa and perfect 💜💛

[@molchkrote3141]

So I‘m italian and I‘m always so happy to see how John really tries to be as authentic as possible. There are many recipes that ad a very american spin to italian cusine wich is perfectly fine but seeing John trying to follow the original recipe as much as possible always makes me happy.

[@nmpoy]

Italians like you need to get a grip

[@Mav_F]

@@nmpoy Oh get over yourself. If it was your national dish destroyed you would react too. At least he was being nice. Me I would have stated it's not really authentic and the shells are overcooked and overlapping and so on.

[@nmpoy]

@@Mav_F destroyed??? very overdramatic. the only people that need to get over themselves are italians, like yourself i assume, on youtube who are constantly complaining under videos of italian foods about how “unauthentic” it is and how it’s done like this or done like that. and yet these comments from said italians are never homogenous either on those recipes so whats wrong with the video uploader doing it in a slightly different way as well? again, get a grip, it’s a food video for goodness sake

[@Mav_F]

@@nmpoy lmao and silly people like you that think its authentic and need to complain about Italians comments on things. Its not authentic and Italians have a right to have a comment and just like you with you BS have to comment on something you have no idea about. Plus I think you are super jealous of Italians. Thank you for your typical keyboard warrior comments.

[@nmpoy]

@@Mav_F not once did i say it was authentic. you might want to read my comment AGAIN and use your brain properly. i made absolutely no justification for people who do butcher recipes. im talking about the incessant comments from italians always complaining. im saying it’s redundant and not worth it. don’t put words in my mouth

If you use bamboo instead of the metal cannoli foils, they’ll cook really well and the pastry will fall off the bamboo. Plus you can handle the bamboo without using tongs. Really awesome recipe. Thank you

[@ginphil6473]

I made the recipe for the cannoli shell. I thought it was missing something....maybe a little ground cinnamon. However......BIG HOWEVER.....they were absolutely delicious the next day!! They weren't as crunchy because I had them in the fridge with the filling. BUUUUTTTTTT, they were the bomb!! I will try the cinnamon in the dough next time, and I'll make your filling recipe as well!! They were fairly easy to make with the cannoli metal tubes. One trick that I did to prevent the dough from sticking to the tubes was to push down where the tubes meet to dislodge the cannoli from the metal before attempting to remove them from the cannoli. I'm so happy that I tried this wonderful recipe!!! I'll never have to purchase empty cannoli shells, which by the way are expensive. 😁🙃

[@ccubito]

At both my Italian grandmothers’ houses, I looked forward to eating cannoli, especially at the holidays. Shells and filling were made, but the cannoli were not filled until just before eating. We fill our cannoli with custard. In Italy you can find both ricotta and custard fillings. As far as the amount of wine used, my maternal grandmother’s recipe calls for “one eggshell of wine.”

[@dawnfrederick521]

What kind of custard did your grandmother make? It's sounds good.

[@ccubito]

@@dawnfrederick521It is the basic vanilla egg custard. The first time I made it by myself, I threw away the first two batches because I didn’t know about tempering the eggs. On my third try, I put the custard through a sieve and called it a day. I learned a few things since then.😃
