An Italian Tries American Ice Cream for the First Time
Who doesn't like ice cream? I put that question to the test today by giving my gelato-craving Italian wife her very first American ice cream! In this video Eva tries Breyer's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, Ben & Jerry's Cannoli ice cream, "Itti Bitz" liquid nitrogen ice cream (alla Dippin Dots), and a classic hot fudge Sundae.

ITALIAN BRIOCHE RECIPE
Makes about 6 buns.
While we hate to release recipes that require unusual equipment, we strongly recommend attempting this recipe with a stand mixer, such as this one: amzn.to/2FtW7Su . It is possible to make the dough by hand, but it would require hours of kneading!
For this recipe, you will need:
- 2 1/3 cups bread flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup whole milk, plus a little extra for glazing
- 4 eggs
- 3.5g yeast (half of a 1/4oz. packet)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp honey
- 4 1/2 tbsp lard or butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Combine the flour, sugar, milk, 3 eggs, yeast, citrus zest and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer. With a dough hook attachment, stir all together (low speed) until well-mixed, about 3-4 minutes. Increase the mixing speed to high and knead vigorously for about 15 minutes. During this time, the dough should form into a unified ball. You may need to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula occasionally.
After 15 minutes, add the salt and gradually incorporate the lard as the dough continues to knead. Do this one small spoonful at a time, allowing each to fully mix in before adding the next. Continue high speed kneading for 5 minutes. Test the dough by pulling a pinch of it. It should be very stretchy and elastic, with a smooth texture. Knead longer if necessary until the consistency is correct.
Lightly coat a large mixing bowl with olive oil and transfer the dough into it. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise. The time this takes depends on the temperature. If it's cold, it could take up to three hours while on a hot day it could take as little as an hour. When the volume of the dough has roughly doubled, it's ready!
Begin cutting pieces of the dough to form the buns. You will need 6 balls about 3-4 inches in diameter and 6 smaller balls about 1-1 1/2 inches. We recommend weighing the pieces to achieve uniform results, in which case the larger balls should weigh about 80g each while the smaller should weigh 15.
Roll each ball until it is smooth and even and arrange them all on a baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise further (30 minutes to 1 hour, again depending on the temperature). The balls should grow slightly, though they won't double as before.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. While the oven heats, use your fingers pinched together to press large depressions into each of the larger buns. Please the smaller balls into these holes. Whisk 1 egg and 1-2oz. of milk together and brush this mixture over the entire surface of the buns.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface of the brioches develop a golden crust. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Slice in half and add your favorite ice cream or gelato.
Buon appetito!

I like how eva is scared to get poisoned all the time 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed... I am always eager to see what she is going to say.....both of them are amazing ⭐⭐
With American food and food law I would be too...
It’s the Italian in her 😂
@@yuhaye3986 indeed
@@tantemarianne6610 yes...I have seen couple of videos on youtube. About excessive and harmful ingredients.
You know it’s good food when Eva hasn’t made a face yet and she starts to smile 😂
i love how she can't lie when she likes something.
she cracks a smile
I'm getting the feeling Italian people have a real dislike for processed food. Eva and my Filipina wife would get along wonderfully! 🥰🥰
99% of European do but the countries that are actually good cook do more. It’s same on African continent and South American because they have fresh veggies and fruits etc...
They got processed food, also. For fuck's sake, they make Nutella.... It's no different in America. Go to a real creamery and you get real ice cream. But if you want cheap, affordable and transportable foods you are going to get processed stuff that won't taste as good as the real thing.
The only thing that would be a problem is the pasta and pizza xD
@@theoneaboveall6768
So basically Americans can’t cook and have terrible food. It’s weird how so many people copy America.
@@notacyborg
That’s what gets me. It’s one thing to say Americans don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables. It’s another thing altogether to claim that Americans have no access to good food. It’s total bullshut.
Ahahah "If we want a cannolo, we eat a cannolo not an ice cream with a cannolo flavour" 😂😂😂
To be fair, Breyers ice cream is the absolute worst. Its oily. And it doesn't melt properly which is alarming. Good ice cream is hard to find. Gelato in Italy is phenomenal. Everything in Italy is phenomenal.
I agree I am no fan of breyers ,,and blue bunny
I agree, I normally get turkey hill or friendlys ice creams
Thank you jeff, you guys have a lot of good things as well, pies and BBQs i haven't seen a country top the US :D
@@Galexlol well I'm Canadian, so we have some of the same as Americans but we have our own too. Island Farms is a good local one, and Hagen Daas is pretty good too. Just expensive
Talenti Gelato is good!
I just love Eva’s face😂 when she doesn’t like something.
That’s because she never likes anything from America! She should go back to Italy
The face of honesty 😁
@@ronbianco5919 she is a unsatisfactory men…
@Kurt Pedersen Naaaah, she just hates anything new.
"Nooo MAMAMIA!"
"Don't read the ingredients, please!" Pretty much covers it for all American food
Until Americans try real gelato they are clueless
@@lawrencemachabee2637 American Ice Cream is waaay better than Gelato
@@michaelnajera901 I've never tasted american ice cream, unless it's the stuff they sell in fastfood (I hope not). As for Gelato, in Italy you have industrial processed one and artisanal one and they are very different. The artisanal also is divided between the one made with flavours and powderd ingredients, and the one made with whole fresh ingredients (milk, fruit, etc). The latter one is the one with an international fame, it's handmade and rather difficult to make with the right texture and balance of taste, it can't prescind from good quality ingredients and how good is it depends on the skill of the ice cream maker.
Maybe I was unlucky but I've never tasted a good gelato north of Rome in my life.
@@sapinta American ice cream is not the same as fast food soft serve. Much like anything in America, it can be really good or horrendous, depending upon who you buy it from. An example of a good regionally available chain is Jeni's (I often use their specific recipes as well as their base recipes to make homemade ice cream).
The difference between high end American ice cream and high end gelato is primarily fat content, serving temperature, and air content. This gives a different flavor-texture tradeoff. As an example, it is much easier to make a high intensity chocolate Gelato than a similarly intense chocolate ice cream. To make up for lower temperature and higher fat, the ice cream maker would have to add way more chocolate to get the same effect, which risks ruining the texture.
Good American ice cream shops often also do sorbets, which are non-dairy and are very good at getting intense fruit flavors. This is probably important to mention because fruit ice cream itself is something someone used to Gelato might not actually like.
@@hypothalapotamus5293 fruit gelato is non dairy mostly, except I think banana and other high protein fruits.
Sorbets are a different thing here, I don't know if we are using similar words but for different things.
"Don't read the ingredients....." :) My mother was Japanese, she approached all Anerican "treats"with the same suspicion. Always a good chuckle, on a Sunday morning. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Was?? Has mother passed on?? Or....
Was means in this sentence past tense
Is would be better choice, This just catch my eye as ive lost a parent so im always weary or aware of this,but even i still make the mistake.
Eva open a real italian Gelateria if there's not it in your city.
One of life thurts
After she opens the pasta restaurant first.
@Rodrigo Santos Valeriano why not both in one dish? in germany everyone loves spaghetti ice cream. its not frozen spaghetti, just vanilla ice cream in the shape of spaghetti with a strawberry sauce.
@@nikomangelmann6054 it’s whipped cream folded into ice cream, and then extruded through a ricer. Also, white chocolate grated over top.
They live in Maine. They have tons and tons of high quality food options.
Change the channel name to “Torturing an Italian woman”
True!!
😂😂👍
😂😂😂😂👏👏
You should comfort her…
Loll
I ate gelato in Bisceglië, South of Italy and it changed my perception of “ice cream” it’s amazing, I tasted stracciatella, cioccolato e fragola, I went back twice on one day😂 Love the videos!!
I generally hate gelato.
Best gelato I ever had was in Florence
Best gelato I've had is gelato.
@@ronlinfonte2651 luckily i live there
non credo esista città italiana dove non si trovi un ottimo gelato
"Ma che è??"
The best Italian expression!!
Un saluto dall'italia, siete fantastici
‘You want to poison me?! ’ 😂🤣😂
As a german, I feel blessed that in almost every german town there‘s a gelato parlour run by an italian family.
You should get an ice cream maker. She may like to make her own flavors. My favorite is always the homemade vanilla. She seems to enjoy making food. Fresh strawberries or peaches 😋
Buy Eva an Ice Cream freezer/maker so she can make homemade Gelato.
I like this idea
@@PastaGrammar Do it! It's easy and result is amazing.
I live in Rome, traveled all over Italy and I have to tell you that a lot of gelato has cookies or other ingredients added! My favourite gelato place is in Casino they do a strawberry and cherry cheesecake gelato with actual strawberries and cherries, as well as tiny waffle bits 😍
Yeah, I'm Italian and I really don't know how she came out with that idea that Italian gelato doesn't have other stuff added 😅
A lot of gelaterie now are experimenting with new flavours, especially the ones in the south, and most of them have a variety of flavours which goes from all time classics (chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, strawberry, lemon, coffee) to the most extravagant things, like cheesecake, Oreo, apple pie, tiramisù, babà, and maybe local specialities depending on the city you're in, and I wouldn't be bothered at all if I found a cannolo flavour.
The point Is "make things properly" as Eva says about the American icecream craftmade. In Italy we don't sell "cannoli's gelato" made with mascarpone. In Italy if you eat a gelato with Oreo you' ll find Oreo in it, not something different, Always, in Industrial or in Handcraftmade gelato.
@@dianapohe I was wondering that myself, the last time I was in italy, you got 20-30 brands of different gelati on every stand and having had the weirdest thing added. Same here in Austria for the italian shops who do their gelato themselves. Basically everything is allowed. But tastewise still a ton of difference to the Ben And Jerrys of this world which are just sugary tasteless whatever...
Lmao I love his humour and playing around with her and the Italian mentality
Love this couple, and the way they critique food, and eva's process of food prep
Halfway through the video I was screaming “Stop torturing Eva with bad American food and take her to a soft serve ice cream parlor for a hot fudge Sundae!”. I’m glad the better Angel of your nature surfaced and you did. It’s my all time favorite ice cream too.
That, "Leave the gun, take the canolli" reference. Lol
Came here to say this! Eva wins for recognizing the theme and taking it a step further! lol
Clemenza
Eva and Harper, you two are very entertaining and I such a delight to watch. I have officially watched every video on your channel
😊 Thank you!
I watch them to get my faith on the good things restored. So wholesome, such a rarity.
When I saw Eva's smile in the car, I thought "Aha!" and laughed out loud.
Lovely Eva actually does not need to talk, her eyes say everything very clearly.
As always loved the video!!! Thank you!
Harper: "No, don't read the ingredients, please."
Eva is an amazing cook, but of course she is...She's Italian! That brioche looked fantastic, I may have to give that a try some time.
And let us know how they will come!
Funny thing that brioche is a French bread... :-D not Italian...
Well actually there are many Italian women who are bad at cooking. And Eva is somewhat picky even for Italian standards sometimes. But she can also cook pretty damn well, so. I know girls who are totally inept in a kitchen and still unbearably picky with food. And usually they never know what to order in a restaurant. They are the worst, imho.
@@jamendetvarjukul well, actually this kind of brioche is made in sicily
I'm Italian too but about cooking nothing compared to Eva, she is a Maestro 👏👏👏bravo!!
Im really loving how wholesome this channel is.. a video sharing platform should be like this, full of affection and friendliness. Your videos always makes me get away from the hate that some communities have
You must be smoking something strong. All these videos do is act as a breeding ground for anti-American hatred to fester.
I love how each episode is a mixture of trying foods and making the Ultimate food
I love Eva preparing food because you can see the enormous attention and devotion witch she puts into preparing everything
Next match up: Hawaiian shaved ice vs Sicilian granita.
jumping jehosaphat m
How have to see me clapping and excited a as child the moment the music began to play and Eva started cooking LOL. You guys rock!!!
I went to Italy in the 80's (as a teenager) and I ate gelato 2-3 times a day every day I was there. The best! I have tried our american attempt but have not been satisfied. I need to learn to make it myself I think.
When I first went to Italy in my early twenties I was shocked by the quality and diversity of Italian gelato. We have Italians in Germany selling ice cream and I liked it but after I came back I was so spoiled and had to learn that most of the Italian ice cram cafes in Germany had shitty ice cream in comparison. There are exceptions who make their ice cream the Italian way but you have to search for them.
@@aldee2787 Luckily my city has quite a few outlets which make their own ice cream. I frankly was shocked when I went to Puglia a few years ago, that we have now reached the same standards. But this also is no surprise, those outlets are all run by italian guys doing their own Gelato!
I've just spent a good time watching you.
Many thanks!
Everytime Ava tries something and doesn't like it, her expression cracks me up.... 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Me too 😂🤣
Eva is an incredible & wise lady, she knows so much about good, amazingly delicious foods & snacks, every time she cooks/bakes something I get so hungry or longing after for that snack...NetFlix must give Eva a cooking Show so Americans can learn how to cook properly in Eva Style when you want something homemade...
She has an incredible palate. Most people are not that orally sensitive to subtle flavors. It’s possible not many Italians are as sensitive as she is. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know any Italians like Eva.
@@minimouse7890 when Someone are so Deeply caring about ingrediens in food as she is...of course they react more openly egen critic food
@@MichaelTheophilus906 sure everyone has their own taste in food.. but as long its good food doesn't matter what it is
I definitely agree and I also watch it for sure!
I wasn't born in Italy, but I live here for a long time, and I can tell you that 90% of them have the mouth trained to get even the most subtle flavour.
They are very good at cooking and tasting
You can see it in Evas eyes when she tries the sundae and tastes the hot fudge! She liked that lol
I’ve had lots of smiles. Thanks so much!
Thank YOU!
When Harper menaced Eva with different American Ice-Creams, shivers went down to my spine. It was like an horror movie.
Please girl, save this guy.
Cannoli ice cream is sacrilege!
And at last she gets a proper American dessert!
Here here! Damn finally she gets real ice cream--though I think she might enjoy more without all the whipped cream, etc. I like it pure without all the crap in it. Unneeded.
Another excellent end to my day. Thank you guys
7:41 "Ma che è!!!"Hahahah that's probably every Italian's thought right now
Do you mind translating what that means?
@@karac.a. Literally it means “but what is it?!”, it’s used like “what’s that supposed to be!” in a “wtf” manner.
“Ma” means “but”, in this case it is more of an interjection to express astonishment and disappointment, as you would do when you say “but why?!”
@@Glorfindelor thank you so much! This was so helpful! ❤️
@@karac.a. No problem! :)
We get B&J also here in Italy in Supermarkets and I like it as a quick fix when I'm too lazy to go to the ice cream shop. When at the shop I will always have the brioche instead of the cone, the best combo possible. Greetings from Umbria, the green heart of Italy.
Brioche with ice cream? Never heard about that before :0
Eva is beyond beautiful and soooo adorable.
Harper... you are blessed!
Lovely setting for Eva to relax.
I wait for your videos every week! ❤ Love you guys!!
I absolutely love your videos :) Thank you. I can't wait to see Eva's cooking show with her sidekick hubby! Someone please make it happen!
I have to say this is one of the best TH-cam channels I follow. Thanks for great videos.
That looks great!. Loved the video as always.
I Love this channel so much. And the characters add much value to it. Good presentation. Super delicious foods.
Poor Eva is even loosing weight! Needs a trip to Italy ASAP. 🤣
It’s the only thing she likes about the “American diet” 😂
Loved the video, I agree with Eva gelato is on another level it's so much better,... congratulations Italy!!!👍🍽🇮🇹
The authentic Italian Gelato is one of the most delicious things on Earth! All respect to Italian food! 😃🍨🍦🍝🍕
You guys are my favorite. Love the videos.
I love how she always sniffs the food with that wonderful look of apprehension before that first taste. And that spot of ice cream on the tip of her nose with that first bite. Hah!
Eva is right about all the food she tastes .. her expressions are the best lol this channel is awesome lol makes me laugh so hard.. lol
Thank you!!!
I think 7-Eleven should be a trip for Eva introduced her to a Slurpee very similar to a lemon cello in some ways LOL I'm sure she'll enjoy a Slurpee LOL
another wonderful video from you guys ! Baci
“No, don’t read the ingredients” LOL 😂
Your channel is fantastic. And Eva is the must have Italian wife. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Italian dishes rule!
I like Potatoes nothing can beat a real American hamburger, a Louisiana crawfish boil and a Texas brisket! And I’m not even an American....
this is going to be meme worthy
Another great video!
::waving:: Here is one American who doesn't like ice cream filled with candy! I got so happy when I heard Eva say, "pistachio?" My favorite flavor, followed closely by dark chocolate.
When the scene opened and you were ordering, I knew exactly where you were. My entire soul tingled with that sight I have seen every summer. We have vacationed near there for over 40 years and we couldn't go this year due to Covid. Thanks for helping me live vicariously. (try the ginger)
😉😋
I haven’t visited Italy yet, my friends that did say that Gelato is amazing. As for me, I’ve had Gelato in my hometown of Houston and Las Vegas. In Texas, we love Blue Bell ice cream.
If you do visit here someday, remember to not enter the first gelateria you find though. Always ask a local where is the best gelateria of the neighbourhood in their opinion, and head there. And everywhere you go, repeat the process :). The difference between an average gelato and a very good one is still huge and if you want the amazing experience your friends told you about look for the real deal.
videovedo Cool deal, once all of the CV19 is over with, I do plan on going to Italy. One of my friends that went there said he’d go with me.
@@videovedo36 even the worst Gelataria in a town in Italy beats any outside of Italy .
Come to Italy as soon as you can! If you go best Torino, give me a call or something.
Why everything eva makes is so perfect 😭
“ you want to poison me” 😂😂😂
Hot days like this, I'm waiting Eva to share summer dishes, here in Rome so hot until 38.... Buon Ferragosto a voi...
You messed up Harper, you didn’t give her Blue Bell.
Gabe Vasquez I don’t think you can get Blue Bell in Maine. I can’t even find it in MD.
That is sad. What about Graeters? Very good ice cream there. I did find some good Gelato in Nashville inside the Gaylord Opyland Hotel and Convention Center. It's not as good as in Italy, but it definitely got the job done.
Bernarr Coletta 😢
Blue Bell and Braum's are the best, but difficult to find outside their distribution areas.
Creole Cream Cheese Blue Bell.
you should let her try the normal stuff for someone who has never had it . Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate
When I was in undergrad, my mentor (from Italy) took me out for gelato. Hazelnut was the first I ever tried, but I also quickly discovered that I liked pistachio and raspberry as well.
Hazelnut is still my favorite, but any flavor is delicious.
That little eyebrow wiggle when she first tried the ice cream in the car 🤣 I love her so much
PS: I really wanted her to try the flavor Birthday Cake 🤣 would’ve been epic
Wow, I’m really surprised at how much she liked the hot fudge sundae and the bagel ice cream sandwich! Best reaction she’s ever given by far! 😮
Harrrrrperrr!!!
Never tried ice cream?!
Simple at first.
Love ur show
The comment before the dippin' dots is gold! ! !
Eva: "Why did that happen?!"
Love Eva's expressions
I had gelato every day in Sicily for the two weeks I was there last year! I missed the gelato so much when I got home, I was sad. Even the gelato at the Italian bakery in Brooklyn isn't the same. Benvenuta!!
Thanks for the treat I am going to make it. Both countries have great things Thanks Eva
I love Eva's "hopeless" look when Harper exclaims "it's delicious".
idk if it was always like that, but ice cream today is SO SWEET i can't even eat it anymore. it's like eating pure sugar.
@john vento i live in europe, it's getting really bad here too.
I sort of Agree,for me it's certain ice cream flavours that are EXTREMELY sugary,I remember buying this Oreo Flavoured ice cream, brought it home,ate a little to see how it tastes, to my disappointment, it just tasted like PURE sugar, no oreo taste at all 😔,same with Bubblegum flavoured ice cream 🤢
I 100% agree!!
I agree! Everything in the US can be too sweet…
Absolutely! The sugar industry has created monsters in America! We’re addicted to sugar because it’s in everything! That’s why folks should get a cheap ice cream maker and make their own.
As an Italian, I'm taking notes on what she's appreciating. 🤣
Bless her heart for being such a good sport.
That looks amazing! Great video you two🙂
Thank you!!
I was really hoping she was going to like the sundae. Then I saw that smile and I knew.
I am in Australia and buy Reese's it never lasts long in my treats jar but love gelato because we had a icecream man mmm sorry a gelato man park out the front of my house when growing up so lucky . I grew up in a multi cultural suburb yes yes concrete gardens with some. My best friends are from everywhere we all loved the Gelato van. I lived in Watsonia next to binak park Australia 🇦🇺 has every culture and is the best way to grow up
Eva's face when she doesn't like something, so hilarious!🤣
This episode was awesome! I knew she'd like traditional flavors of ice cream lol! You can't go wrong with those
But gelatos are absolutely amazing though....I totally get where Eva is coming from lol. Thanks for this, guys! I'm totally trying that sandwich....
Fun videos.You missed out on having Eva try American version of gelato. Interested to hear her comparison. Laughed when you told her not to read ingredients.
I like how you want her to try things, but then you give her garbage products, maybe the issue is you just have bad taste? P.S. love you both, really glad to have found your channel
I’m assuming he chooses stuff to “enhance” the fun of the videos. Tho I would like to see her rxn to some better quality American stuff
Yes, there’s definitely PHENOMENAL ice cream here in America. You might have to seek it in places than the grocery store though. I’m wondering, do they have no junky, low quality foods in Italian grocery stores? Everything is high quality, artisanal level food?
You mean Baskin Robbins?@@julieschneider5973
U gilatu ca bbrioshaaaaa!! Ciao Eva, un saluto dalla Sicilia :)
sometimes... looks like Harper is trying to make Eva leave him... hahahaha discovered your channel these days... having a blast with her reactions and recipes
Omg!!! I wish I lived by y’all!!!!! I’m so jealous of Eva’s skill and of Harper’s charm♥️♥️♥️♥️
We've been compromised! He told her about the secret stash of ice cream!
😂
Maraschino isn't pronounced "mara-she-no". It's not a French word. It's "mara-skee-no". I'm surprised Eva didn't correct you.
She has largely given up on trying to correct me 😂
Actually it's pronounced maraskino, the Ch sounds like K like Kansas.
AHHH I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Eva is so Iconic! When I first moved to the US I used to hate American ice cream too! 😂🥰👌🏼
Lovely!
Omg guys guess what, I live in Tucson, AZ and found an amazing gelato place which is sooo good and better than any other gelato I've had in bigger American cities like SF, LA etc. And I was wondering how is it THAT good... guess what.. we found on their website that they get their ingredients and everything shipped from italy and made fresh everyday, and the owner is Italian!
Hahaha.. I'm sure Eva will be happy to know !
Go figure! 😂 That’s awesome that you found a treasure in your backyard 😋
@@PastaGrammar haha yeah its pretty cool!
Love your videos 🙌🏼
Eva is hilarious 💕
I just knew you were going to make gelato!!...still a great video!
Omg I am craving brioche w/ice cream now. We visited Sicily a few years ago & had granita w/ brioche for breakfast 😋
Your videos are more entertaining than any tv show.
