Sfogliatella (Lobster Tail Pastry) filled with Ricotta and Semolina Cream
Sfogliatella is an iconic pastry originated from the Campania region of Italy, this shell-shaped dessert consists of a shatteringly thin and crispy pastry, with a semolina and ricotta based cream filling. Often named as one of the hardest Italian pastries to make, the process of making Sfogliatelle is definitely a labour of love (a dream for anyone who enjoys tedious and repetitive tasks!) but the result is well worth it.
