Ricciarelli

Ricciarelli are a typical Sienese dessert made with almonds, sugar and egg white. They are prepared with a coarse-grained almond paste similar to marzipan, worked for a long time and enriched with candied orange peel and vanilla flavouring. The mixture thus obtained is cut into small lozenges which are placed on a wafer leaf. After cooking in the oven, the wrinkled and cracked surface is coated with icing sugar.

May contain wheat, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, milk and soy.
