Cannolis
Ingredients:
For the Shell:
¼ cup + 1 tbsp flour (I used gluten-free)
½ tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ tbsp unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp water
Egg wash – 1 egg, lightly beaten
Cinnamon sugar – 2 tbsp granulated sugar + ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
For the Filling:
¼ cup + 2 tbsp ricotta cheese
¼ cup mascarpone
2 tbsp powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
Directions:
For the Shell: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt
Add in the butter and mix by hand or pulse in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs
Add in the egg yolk and water, then mix until a dough forms (if too wet, then add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time)
Roll the dough out into a sheet around ⅛-inch thick
Use a 1-cup measure to cut circles out of the dough, forming it into a ball and rolling it out again until the dough is all used
Wrap the dough circles around 2 fingers, one at a time, and press the seam together where the two sides meet, then brush egg wash onto the seam to seal (only prep these one at a time, right before you fry them)
In a pot, heat 2-3 inches of canola oil to 350 F
Cook the cannoli shells on both sides until golden-brown, around 5 minutes
Remove from the oil and immediately dip into the cinnamon sugar to coat
For the Filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and salt, until creamy, then fill into a piping bag
Pipe the filling into each cannoli shell from both sides
Enjoy!!

I am making the absolute worstrated foods to answer the question, are they really all that bad? This is a food that has been described before as one of the most overrated desserts to probably ever exist. These are canoli, and the main complaint that people have is about the filling. Some people say that it is way too sweet, while others claim that it tastes like chalk, which makes sense if you are buying a 12-pack off the shelf at your local hardware store since those are probably filled with more additives and stabilizers than a plastic surgeon’s waiting room. But a mouthful of sugary cream isn’t always a bad thing, especially if it is made fresh at a bakery. And if it isn’t the filling, then it’s the shell. Because the second main complaint that people have is that the shell is either way too soggy or way too rubbery. And to that, the only thing to say is that you have clearly never had a proper canoli before. But in case you were wondering, the shell is supposed to be crispy. Hi, I’m a writer who likes food. And for some reason, I was under the impression that Italians do not know how to make good desserts besides tiramisu. But that was so wrong. These canoli were super good and also surprisingly easy to make.

As an italian i'm happy you liked it 😊
Why???CANNOLI ARE SUPER GOOD, I GASPED….WHY ARE CANNOLI THE WORST RATED😢😢😢😢😢😢i live in Italy and they are soo louxurius
Im italian and how can you have cannoli's when you devour 2739282029292829292 cups of tirsmisu 😭
My problem is usually that there's TOO much difference between the hard af shell and the filling, but the ones you made look awesome. I think I'd really like them
i firmly believe that cannolis are just tiramisus doing yoga in a crispy blanket
Stop calling them "cannolis".
"Cannoli" is already plural. "Cannolis" is like saying "sandwicheses".
Italians have some of the best deserts in europe
Who buys sweets at a hardware store?? If you got a bad one there, that is SO on you.
My boyfriend claims his grandmas conolis were legendary. So much so that she only made them on special occasions and she had to keep her his grandpa from them because they were his favorite and he'd eat them all (purposely not eating dinner to save space for more canoli) before guests had a chance. He said that and the way she sautéed peal onions.
Cannoli is so good and you're so good at cooking. Great vid
cannolis are one of the best desserts to ever exist.
EX FUCKING SCUSE THOSE PEOPLE?!?!?
Cannoli filling is the best filling.
I used to get cannolis every friday for all our roommates from an Italian bakery, never heard these complaints. A good solid cannoli is like one of the best desserts available. The espresso and pistachio onces were my favorite.
People hate cannolis??
"Mouthful of cream" 🤨
why did you smash it that was so sad 😂
"More additives than a plastic surgeon's waiting room"
I cant believe everyone is talking about the cannolis and nobody is talking about the writing
I love cannoli??? What???
As someone from New Jersey I often forget that some people live more than a mile from an Italian bakery
Only people who hate cannolis are vampires
I'm not fond of the texture, but I've always accepted that as a me thing. And tbh, the most overrated dessert is sugar cookies (not snickerdoodles, those slap, I do mean actual sugar cookies). They're just… ugh. All of the desserts and baked goods you could have made, and you made the beige of cookies. No flavor, just sweet.
At work we sell these as well. They last months.
The shell is sticking to every part of your mouth and the filling sent a shockwave throughout my body because it was too sweet.
The ingredient list contains more perservatives than actual ingredients used in fresh ones.
Personally they shouldnt even be considered canolli because it's an insult to the real stuff
Holy
so that's what the last room in papa's mocharia is for
cannolis suck
guys in italian cannolo is the singular term for cannoli, and cannoli (no, not cannolis) is the term for plural cannoli
Why were you crushing them they did nothing
Took 1single bite of a cannoli about 10-15 years ago. It was nasty! And these were good cannolis. From a bakery, top rated, loved and raved about. I threw it away!! Have never tried cannoli since then lol.
a group of students sold these at the first day of our school fair and idk how they did it but they made an absolutely delicious cannoli with a creme bruelee flavored filling it was so delicious, unfortunately they sold out and never were restocked in the following days
the end at a 3/10 are we serious
Italians can definitely make desserts, but the problem is that people tend toonly go to more famous touristy places where the food isn’t as authentic and the culture has been kind of spoiled by too much tourism. I come from Apuglia and an example of a great Italian dessert is pasticciotto. There is also crema al chantili, cartucci, babá, coda di aragosta, and many more just from my region alone.
…How is the main complaint not that the shell tastes like turbo ass? When I think of canolli, all I can think about is that horrible bland shell
Cannoli is too sweet that is the only problem that's it.
Everything thing else about is perfect
