Pasticciotto

Pasticciotto is a popular Italian dessert consisting of a shortcrust pastry filled with flavorful pastry cream. Traditionally, the crust is made with lard, so that it is moister and softer than the regular crust prepared with butter. It is recommended to consume pasticciotto fresh out of the oven when it is still piping hot. Many believe that the dessert was invented in the 18th century by Andrea Ascalone, a chef from Galatina.
