Maritozzi with Cream

Maritozzi with cream are a typical dessert of Rome. This dessert is a tender sweet loaf, cut in half and filled with whipped cream. Its name seems to derive from the custom of giving this dessert during the engagement during the man’s declaration to the woman. The engagement ring was hidden in this cake. Tender raisins can be added to the Maritozzi dough (some even add pine nuts and candied orange peel). Today they are often served for breakfast in many bars in the capital.

Struffoli

Struffoli are a typical dessert from Naples. Christmas is approaching and it’s time for tradition. In fact, struffoli are generally prepared during the Christmas period and thanks to their small shape, the size of a chickpea, they lend themselves to spectacular decorations, using colored decorations of sugar and candied fruit. The name struffolo has an uncertain origin, the most probable being the derivation of the Greek word “Stroggulos” (“rounded in shape”).
