Italian Almond Cookies with Maraschino Cherries | Sicilian Pastry (ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS)
Here in Sicily, these almond cookies are super popular! I would safely say that almost every pastry shop carries them. It was so much fun to re-create such a traditional sweet that I’ve seen for years in bakery shops since I was a kid.
These almond pastries are super easy to make and you only need 3 main ingredients. They are soft and chewy and a great dessert idea.
RECIPE:
250 g peeled almonds (1 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/3 cup)
150 g powdered sugar (about 1 cup)
2 egg whites
Maraschino cherries (about 15 cherries)
1 g Vanillin or 1 tsp vanilla paste (optional)
Lemon zest to your taste (optional)

How to make Sicilian St. Joseph's day pastries - Sfinci di San Giuseppe
#sfincidisangiuseppe. #traditionalsicilianrecipes. #authenticitaliancuisine
March has already arrived and here is the Sfinci di San Giuseppe recipe.
The sfinci di San Giuseppe which translated into English means “St Joseph's day pastries”, are typical Sicilian sweets, especially from Palermo.
Beautiful and colorful to look at but above all delicious to eat.
They are prepared on March 19 on the occasion of the feast of St. Joseph which is also Father's Day.
The sfinci are fried pastries stuffed with a cream of fresh ricotta and chocolate and finally decorated with chopped pistachios and candied fruit.
They are easy to prepare desserts, but you need to pay attention to a few steps.
1 To make the sfinci di San Giuseppe, choose a fresh ricotta cheese of excellent quality, possibly made from sheep's milk.
But even the one made with cow's milk works, only the draining time will be longer.
For example, I used cow ricotta to make this video recipe and that's why I show that ricotta must drain in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
2 The draining of ricotta. Fresh ricotta contains a lot of whey. To make an excellent ricotta cream, it must be as dry as possible, otherwise, the cream will be too watery.
3 Another fundamental step in making Sicilian st joseph's day pastries is frying. To have perfect frying the oil temperature must be around 165 ° C.
If it is lower the sfincia will absorb too much oil becoming soggy.
If, on the other hand, the oil temperature exceeds 170 ° C, it will darken too much on the outside, remaining raw on the inside.
The sfinci will grow a lot during frying, so I recommend you fry a few at a time.
At the end, the sfinci will appear golden on all sides and empty inside.
To make ricotta cream is very simple.
Once the ricotta has lost all the whey and is, therefore, more compact, mix it well with the sugar and put it back in the fridge for another 8 hours.
Then pass it through a sieve to make it more creamy and remove any lumps and mix it with chocolate chips.
You got the ricotta cream the one that Sicilians use to fill not only the Sfinci di San Giuseppe but also two other famous Sicilian traditional desserts: Cannoli and Cassata.
Here are the ingredients to make the Sfinci di San Giuseppe recipe:
For the batter:
All-purpose flour
Water
Eggs
Butter or lard
Baking soda
Salt
Peanut oil for frying
For the Ricotta filling:
Fresh ricotta
Sugar
Chocolate chips
Chopped pistachios
Cherries and Candied Orange Peel
Now it's your turn, try to delight your palate and that of your family or guests.

Sicilian Breasts of St. Agatha | Minne di sant'Agata/Cassatella di sant'Agata/Minnuzzi 'i sant'Àjita
A Sicilian dessert from the town of Catania to commemorate its patron saint, Saint Agatha, a third century Christian martyr. Before her martyrdom, her breasts were cut off in punishment for rejecting the advances of the Governor Quintianus. Because of this, she is traditionally depicted in paintings holding a plate of her breasts. The dessert was made to resemble this. This version of the minne di sant'Agata is made with a short crust shell, filled with ricotta, chocolate chips, and candied fruit, glazed with icing, and topped with a candied cherry.

Sicilian Apple Cake
The apples melt into the batter creating an almost custard like filling, and the raisins become all 'jammy' and sweet. The pine nuts add a little crunch all the way through the cake along with the walnut crust on the outside which makes for a great textured cake. This cake is very moist, and delicious served both hot or cold. Serve with some softly whipped cream for a superb dessert.
