Soft on the inside with a cracked crunchy surface dusted with icing sugar, Ricciarelli are popular Tuscan cakes made simply with coarsely ground, peeled, almonds, egg whites & sugar.
Baked high at a high temperature for a short time, the result is that the mixture remains after being cooked, soft and aromatic, a and a pure pleasure to the palate.
Ours are made by a bakery in Chianciano, near Siena, using the original recipe of the owner's grandmother. Ricciarelli are of Arab-Roman origin, and are among the most ancient desserts of Siena. Traces of these are found in documents dated back to 1447, they were served in banquets and receptions of the most aristocratic families in Tuscany.
Great with a coffee! Enjoy with a cappuccino in the morning, or dip into a an espresso in the afternoon. Perfetto!
