Are you sure? Okay. I can’t stop smiling. I don’t know what’s wrong. She’s super nervous, but she wants to make the video. So, we’re going to give her a chance. What are you scared for? They’re all your aunties and cyber grandmas. Okay, wait. Okay, wait. Let me practice one more time. Okay, tell me when it starts. Okay. Hi guys. Welcome back to the D&J Homesteader. I’m Mina and today we’re making canoli dip. Woohoo. Now Mina, you just had your very f well the first taste of a canoli that you remember. It’s hard to find good canoli up where we live. Most canoli when you go to a doughnut shop or a bakery, they’re made with like the um like that that sugar like a sugar filling and not the canoli cream filling. But you had your first canoli cuz we have a pizza place up by where Danny works and Danny brought us home some canoli and it was delicious. Right. So we were inspired to make canoli dip, right? Super easy, perfect for the holidays coming up. So, it’s an early holiday video, so you might want to serve this at your Thanksgiving meal, right? Or Christmas parties or whatever you got going on. Simple ingredients. Should we aim down and show them? Yeah. Okay. What do we got here? Do you want to read it off here? Yeah. We got two cups of ricotta cheese right here. Okay. So, here’s the ricotta cheese. Now, our ricotta cheese came in a 15 oz. If you can get a 16 oz, that’ll be perfect. You need 16 oz. So, we’re going to be an ounce shy, but we’re not going to open up a second container just for an ounce. So, we’re just going to roll with that. We also have 8 oz of cream cheese. A brick of cream cheese. I would have preferred the tillamuk, but again, very hard to find up here. I can only get it at Kroger, which is about 40 minutes south from my house. So, this is just from our local grocery store. 1 and 1/2 cups of con of powdered sugar. Yeah. Yeah. Confectioner sugar. Well, which is sugar. Yeah. And then one teaspoon of vanilla. One teaspoon of We’ve We’re using homemade b uh bourbon vanilla extract. One cup mini chocolate chips. Yep. And now that’s easy. And that’s it, right? Okay. All right. Sounds good. So, we’re going to use our little artisan mini that my sons bought me one year for Christmas cuz it’s like the perfect size for something like this. And uh Mina’s going to put it together, right? All right. So, we we let our cream cheese and our ricotta cheese sit for about an hour on the counter. So, it’s a little bit warmer, but um hold on, baby. You want me to move this? Yeah. There you go. All right. So, she’s going to put in her brick of cream cheese. There you go. Perfect. And then maybe the ricotta cheese. And there’s a spoon right behind you, baby. Okay. Grab that. And then go ahead and Yep. You got it. Yeah. Okay. Beautiful. Beautiful. Trying to get trying my hard to get you get out as much as you can and then mama will scrape the rest. That’s it. All right. So here, hold on. Hold on to that spoon cuz I’ll scrape off that spoon, too. Because we we’re already down an ounce. So, we don’t want to we have to get as much as possible. As much as possible. All right. Get the rest of that. All right. That’s pretty clean. Okay. And then this way. Okay. Now, we’re going to put this back on. Okay. And we’re going to just we’re going to beat these two things together first. We’re going to go ahead and lock this. So, you want to lock it? Yeah. Bring it forward all the way to where it says lock. Right here. Yep. And then go ahead and turn this on. Just do one speed at a time. Okay. Go ahead. Yep. There you go. And a little bit faster. There you go. Looks good. Already looks like canoli dip. Get you in the bowl there. You see it. Okay. Now, what we’re going to do, unlock this, and then we’re just going to kind of scrape down the bowl just to make sure everything gets mixed in there. Also got to scrape down the mixer. Are we done mixing? No. I’m going to give it one more mix here. Okay. Okay. Go ahead. Lock it. Go ahead and turn it on. There you go. A little faster. There you go. There you go. Little faster. You can do it real fast. This is the mini. It’s not as powerful as my big one. Okay. Go ahead and shut it off. So, we’re going to turn Nope. Other side. There you go, baby. Okay. Turn it off. Now, we’re going to go ahead and we are going to add the um powdered sugar. So, I’m going to Well, go ahead and um I’m trying to think of what’s easier for you. Go ahead and just add like a scoop or two of it in there. Mom, go I got some. It’s okay. That’s all right. two. Got it. And then we’re going to add some vanilla. So, we’re going to give it a shake and pop it open. Now, you should measure this, but mama’s going to measure with love. About a teaspoon. That’s probably a tablespoon, but that’s all right. It’ll be good. Okay. And then Wipe off the alcohol. All right. You want me to finish? You feel a little You want You can do the chocolate chips. I’ll do this part just makes you a little nervous cuz it gets so exciting for the chocolate chips. Just add it when you see that the powdered sugar is mixed in there, right? And that way it doesn’t make a big mess. Looks so good. Looks yummy. Yes. Let me get the rest of it in here. Dumping it all. Okay, let me get this. Now, if we have to adjust it and add a little more powdered sugar or anything, we can do that. All right, let’s taste it. You want to taste it? Yeah. That tastes really good. Does it need more sugar? Is it sweet enough? It’s actually really sweet. What do you think? I like it. M. That tastes good. Okay, now we’re going to add the chocolate chips. Yep. I locked this, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, now I’m going to take you guys off the tripod so you can see this a little bit easier. All right. Little bit at a time. Take your time. All right. Oh, no. That’s okay. You’re good. One more. Excellent job. Thank you. I wish we could share it with all your cyber aunties and grandmas out there. Give them all a graham cracker to try it. And then I think adding the rest is good. There you go. You have a few. Are you trying to steal those, Miss Mina? No. You’re not. You can have those if you wanted. That’s your tax. That’s your tax. I love chocolate chips. All right. That looks good. Okay. So now what we’re going to do and shut this off. Ooh. Unlock it. And then it’s actually going to be so good. Is this for dessert? This is for dessert. We’re going to do game night tonight. Really? Yeah. Family game night. Unless you want to do a movie night instead. No, I think game cuz we haven’t played a game. We haven’t played it together. I know. We haven’t in a while. So that would be fun. So we’re going to have tacos. Actually, we’re having nachos for dinner. Oo. And Miss Mina has requested Spanish rice. Yes. Cuz I love Spanish rice. So I got to get Spanish rice going. And um and then we’ll have this for dessert during game night and eat it with some um let me put this in the sink. Eat it with some uh graham crackers. So what I’m going to do now is take this off. We’ll take you over to the island and we’ll give this a taste test. So, we’re going to get you graham cracker here. Where’s Mason? Want Mason a taste test? Sure. These are kind of They always Why do they always That’s okay. break so weird. All right. So, go ahead and dip.
