How Cannoli Are Made | Food Skills

  • Few pastries are more quintessential to the New York experience than the cannolo. Sweet, flakey, and filled with a thick ricotta cream, the Sicilian dessert is the platonic ideal of what fried food can be. Ferrara Bakery in Manhattan's Little Italy has been churning out the pastry for over 125 years, since Antonio Ferrara first opened up shop on Grand Street in 1892. Now, fifth-generation owner Ernest Lepore is here to share the secret to making perfectly smooth and crunchy cannoli in Ferrara's legendary kitchen. Whether they're dragged through a vat of melted chocolate, or served plain with an espresso, cannoli are an inextricable component of Italian-American cooking in NYC. "I love cannolis, because it's my family tradition," Lepore says. "Sharing food is the way we say we love you, so we love to cook."

      There are so many bad cannoli out there. The only good ones I have ever had was Ferrara's in NY and Ferrara's in Chicago (pretty sure it's not the same company, but the families may be related). Ferrara's Chicago dips each end in crushed pistachio nuts.

    You can buy Ferrara's cannoli shells and cream (filling) frozen in a piping bag at a few markets.
    Villa Roma market in Laguna Hills, CA carries it. Shells are ~$5 and cream ~$10. You can get shells at a lot of Italian delis, but they usually sell their own cream (which is usually not very good and almost always grainy and not smooth).

    I'm from Shanghai, and we call it 牛莉 ( niuli ), which is the transliteration of Cannoli. It's a signature pastry of 凱司令 aka Commander K'ai's Café ( established in 1928 ). Sweet icing sugar, flaky texture and delicious cream, it's one of my favorite desserts.

      It is important to fill the cannoli right before serving so that the shell is crisp. This is time consuming when you're busy. To get around that, you can coat the inside of the shell with chocolate and fill ahead of time...but no more than an hour or so.

      @MrEmigliore Před 6 lety +1

      Kevin Ball I strongly advise against it. Ricotta based creams spoil incredibly fast and the biscotto base gets soggy from the cream in less than 2 days. In fact the best way to transport a cannolo is by shipping empty shells and filling them with the cream made on the spot.
      Edit: I know this because I own a hotel with restaurant and backery in southern Italy and my baker is Sicilian
