Teresa Giudice blasted for copying cousin Kathy Wakile in cooking video: She’s the ‘Queen Of Cannoli’

Reality TV

Perhaps she should throw them in the garbage.

Fans are dragging “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice over a recent cannoli-making video, claiming she “copied” her estranged cousin Kathy Wakile’s claim to fame.

Giudice, who has actually published a handful of cookbooks over the years, took to Instagram Wednesday to promote the latest episode of her YouTube show, “Cook with Love.”

“Hi, guys! It’s Teresa Giudice! Welcome back,” the fully glammed Bravolebrity, 51, began the tutorial, which she filmed in her fancy kitchen.

“Today we’re making dessert! I’m making the Holy Cannoli Cupcakes,” she went on, acknowledging that it can be “intimidating” to make the Sicilian staple.

However, Giudice insisted her cannoli cream recipe is “really easy” and emphasized that cupcakes are “fun to make.”

“She copied her cousin Kathy!” one person commented beneath the post, as another asked, “Is it @kathywakile[‘s] cannoli recipe? Cause they are delicious.”

“Not Kathy’s dessert!!!! 😂😂😂😂,” someone else remarked, while a fourth critic proclaimed, “@kathywakile is the Queen Of Cannoli!!!! Sorry!”

But Giudice’s supporters, who call themselves Tre Huggers, immediately rushed to her defense.

“Kathy didn’t invent cannolis,” one netizen pointed out, while another noted, “Those are common italian desserts.”

Giudice is the last standing original “Housewife” on the Bravo reality series, while Wakile starred in Seasons 3-5 and a “friend of” for Seasons 6 and 7.

Though their relationship endured its fair share of feuds, the two were never able to reconcile after Wakile called Giudice’s father “a coward” and Giudice’s mother “a f–king liar” during the Season 4 reunion.

The restauranteur has stayed away from the show — and her cousin — ever since.

However, during her tenure, cameras captured Wakile turning her culinary passions into lucrative businesses.

In December 2012, the mother of two launched her Dolci Della Dea dessert line, with a successful cannoli kit being the first offering.

At the time, Wakile, 57, and Giudice were on such good terms that the latter even promoted the product on Twitter.

“HUGE congrats to @KathyWakile for her cannoli kits on @QVC! So proud of you Kath! Did you all buy one? Yum!” the supportive post read.
