“She’s got shells, she’s got cream, they’re so good, and they’ll make you scream. I’m in love with the Queen of CANNOLI!!!!!!!” (The Ravenna Song)
Hello Everyone,
If you do not know by now, I will remind you all that I come from an Italian household. I was raised with Italian traditions and values. I am proud of my upbringing. It wasn’t perfect by all means but when things got upsetting we always had CANNOLI!! LOL. On that note, I needed to know how to make a Cannoli.
In 2013, Holy Cannoli was created by Vanessa Chiaravalloti. Vanessa who also was raised by Italian parents, wanted to share her father Nicola’s Secret Cannoli Cream to the world. Nicola, a long time baker perfected the Cannoli Cream in his bakery Bona Via Bakery. Now, when I heard that my girl Vanessa was Calabrese, I knew I was meant to EAT THESE CANNOLI. HA-HA.
How did they taste? Well, let’s just say I had about 10 of them. LOL. The cream is incredible. It melts in your mouth. I have eaten a lot of cannoli in my lifetime, but, these cannoli are special. I am not just saying this because I got an opportunity to stuff my own cannoli. I am saying this because they taste really great.
Vanessa and I had an amazing day. She was patient in showing me how to hold and stuff the cannoli. She is a very creative girl. After filling our cannoli, Vanessa designed my name out of these tasty treats. NIKI in cannoli. How cool is that?!? I love seeing my name in anything but seeing it made in cannoli, made my day.
