Unholy Cannoli - Easy Cheater Cannoli - Food Wishes 

Chef John, this recipe looks absolutely *AMAZING*!! Can't wait to try it, for my BF's & my birthdays, which are coming up, on Jan. 31st (his), and Feb. 1st (mine). :) I actually have some Ricotta & cream cheese in the fridge, AND some leftover pistachio nuts!! And, NO CANNOLI ROLLERS, sooo - this aluminum foil hack is a PERFECT IDEA!!! TYSM!! Just so happen to be watching this video, in 2021, one day before the one yr. anniversary, of its posting!! Cheers, from Killeen, Texas - Lora.

lovely comment

Ohhh, that is super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

That's really fascinating. Ciao da Malta, vicino!

merci for this information!

you're exaggerating quite a bit...probably a quarter cup

"Diabetic cascade" is the term you are looking for.

Geeze, it was just a quarter of a cup.

Is it just me or a lot of gays here

@DH woowee

@DH your logo is dumb

@DH you're *

@DH keep fishin bud

I'm not offended, I'm not a big fan of cannolis myself

Reading that gave me a headache

I'm fine with this! Dare I say that this looks like an almost more enjoyable method of have a cannoli or cannolis!! .. 🤗❤👏🏼😉

so agree! rob

sharon olsen Hi, I'm Italian, have grown up eating cannoli, and I think this recipe is fantastic! I love it that Chef John uses fresh citrus zest instead of candied zest. And I also like the idea of a lighter, crispier shell. Sometimes you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Oh I dunno. There might be some nonas who would say this is great, that they didn't really like slaving over boiling oil, they might give this a thumbs up! It's healthier, too!

@@MarySanchez-qk3hp If by healthier you mean you've saved a few calories on the shell but kept the incredibly fatty insides as is, then yes it is healthier. I'm not saying it as a critique for the recipe, I just don't think those things are meant to be healthy

@@limiv5272 the fat is healthy, the real villain is the sugar.

Damn it, now I'm picturing all of Infinity War with Chef John as Thanos.

Yes! 😂🤣

Love it!! That would make an awesome shirt!!!!

Is that you Harvey?

@DH Thank you for pointing that out! I've corrected it.

Everybody gangster in the kitchen until Townsend bakes a whole onion

deadfr0g I still have that video saved for future use. Though, it’s a baked onion. How hard could it be?

@@glamazon6172 surprise: you have to chop your own wood and make your own oven

The crossover episode of my DREAMS

Townsends, Ambercrombie and Chef John team up with Babish and cookingwithadog WHEN

Well if you hit the little bell next to subscribed it'll let you know as soon as he does. :)

Yes, not like the ones from 8 years ago when Chef John used to have an Afro.

He can't even give you a like...wow

pure and honest comment department approves 👍

This wholesome and very sweet ♥️.

Oh I see what you did there...

Works for me! 😋😁

thanks, Janice! a thousand thanks!

G for whatever your middle name is and g for bloody genius!

Thousands of Italians getting ready for comments sections. Again.

And some Italian-Americans from New York and New Jersey cursing and crying (especially the Italian moms who have been doing home-cooking for years and don't let age slow them down).

The finger pinch emoji could not have come at a better time

Honestly I think my old lady will like this recipe, she's reached the cheats stage of buying the damn tubes, although we use a lemon custard instead of the cream cheese, probably a regional thing.

GEOM: suggest to her that she use ice cream cones instead. Cheaper, not as brutal on teeth. The only good,ones I've ever found are Trader Joe's, they actually taste like real food.

Another bright idea. What about a broom handle. Or get a wooden dowel from Lowe's, Walmart or Michael's and wrap in parchment, in case food shouldn't touch it.

Those would work, too. I, being poor, cannot afford to buy things when I can make do without them. Way too many people rush off to the store without even thinking about whether they already have something that will serve their purpose.

You'd think so, but a lot of people don't act that way.

@@recoil53 Yeah... but NO ONE care about food critics!!!... especially ME!! 😆😆😆

@@Moots787 Yes I'd have to agree with that!

that actually sounds intriguing.... I'm a huge fan of spicy chocolate, and even hot salsa makes me crave dark chocolate.

lol Snap! 😂 I bet it'd taste ab fab fine with a pinch of cayenne added or chili dark chocolate!

i'm a fan of cayenne in chocolate as well. though not sure how it'd taste with the cream. worth a try

Sounds like some of you are on your way to a Mexican version. Same dairy, but grated traditional Mexican chocolate that has cinnamon and piloncillo in it... chile powder or cayenne would not be a travesty! You could add toasted almonds, whatever the nuns traditionally used down there. Looks like Chef has opened up Pandora's box again.

I care. Italian food is a major tradition, still evolving. They still shop for fresh ingredients in markets, even the young adults, and cook their own food evenings. They eat leisurely and enjoy each others' company. Their respect food more than Americans. They cook wonderful things in tiny kitchens, while many Americans eat junk food in their cars on the freeway. And although I violate their rules, there's good reason why certain pastas are meant for certain dishes. I taught ESL to a young Italian woman, and to thank me, she and her cousin invited me over and cooked for me. They stood at the stove, brows furrowed, seriously debating about when to add more of each ingredient, and didn't understand why I couldn't stop grinning. They respected the food, and oh boy was it delicious! I don't know anyone where I am, who loves to cook and bake. But Italians were also seafarers and merchants who spread their recipes and new vegetables, fruits, spices, etc. from port to port, and even then recipes were modified by different towns. So they did it, too. Don't forget, they didn't originally have noodles or rice, tomayors, corn or peppers. They were flexible about adopting new tastes. Why can't we?

* tomatoes. Sorry.

@Anne Wow! That was uncalled for.....

Cullen Goodwin-Schoen Animation yeah these look legit

* self-DEPRECATING. Depreciating is, like, when the value of your home goes down.

@@MarySanchez-qk3hp self-dep·re·cat·ing /ˈˌself ˈdeprəˌkādiNG/ adjective modest about or critical of oneself, especially humorously so. "self-deprecating jokes" HI MARY! I totally meant that as a COMPLIMENT!

There's chili powder in cannolis?

What the heck are you talking about, cannoli has no chili powder in it.

Maybe invest in an air fryer if you want fried foods but are afraid 😊 I recommend a ninja foodie, they have different ones with different features and it's worth it if you really love cooking! 😀

It's just another fad appliance with limited range. The best ones are expensive. America's Test Kitchen reviewed them. Unless your kitchen is huge and you have lots of storage, I've seen mixed reviews. Chef's way is more reliable and you already have an oven.

You and me, brother.

dear Lord mine is a very long list

I already used his sourdough and and batard (sp?) recipes. Good stuff.

@@MarySanchez-qk3hp I also did his sourdough bread many times, it always comes great. I only added 2g of salt, to make it tastier.
