Sicilian desserts

Sicilian desserts, the sweetest part of the Italian la dolce vita, is a rich part of the Sicilian food culture.

Sicilian Pignolata-Italian Honey Balls are fried balls of dough dipped in honey and topped with sprinkles. Made in Italy during the carnevale and also the holidays.

Delight in the rich flavors of traditional Sicilian Cuccidati cookies, filled with a luscious fig and nut mixture, wrapped in a buttery dough, and topped with a sweet orange glaze. Perfect for special occasions and holiday gatherings!

Sfingi are a delicious fried dough treat dusted generously in sugar. These are made with ricotta and are absolutely amazing.

This cake has the perfect level of citrus flavour, it’s moist and stays fresh for days! The roasted pistachios offer the perfect contrast to the sweet, tart flavors of the cake but would still be excellent without! Change up the citrus, add grapefruit or blood orange if you prefer.

These cookies are so good! Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The bonus is they are gluten-free.
