In Favara<\/strong>, in the province of Agrigento<\/a>, the local traditional dessert is Agnello Pasquale<\/strong>. This is marzipan filled with fresh chopped pistachios, covered with “velata” (dark sugar) and richly decorated with bells, silver beads, ribbons and red flags.<\/p>\n

The dessert dates back to the early twentieth century, when it was prepared by the nuns of the Collegio di Maria<\/strong> in the “Batia” district of Favara, to remember Jesus as the Lamb of God. You can watch the dessert being prepared, and of course taste it, at the Castello Chiaramonte<\/strong> during the Sagra dell\u2019Agnello Pasquale<\/strong> festival which takes place every year during the holiday period.<\/p>\n

The Picureddi<\/em>, which are easy to find throughout the region, are marzipan sheep lying on their sides, placed on a green lawn strewn with colourful sugared almonds.<\/p>\n

In Erice<\/a>, in the province of Trapani<\/a>, at the convento San Carlo<\/strong>, they still package Ericini<\/strong> today, made with finely decorated marzipan and stuffed with cedar jam.<\/p>\n

If you’re in Agira<\/strong>, in the province of Enna at Easter, you’ll find Cassatelle di Agira<\/strong>, which have nothing to do with the famous ricotta cassata<\/a>. They are elegant and exquisite pasticciotti made with thin sheets, filled with cocoa and toasted almonds.<\/p>\n

Another typical Easter dessert known throughout Sicily, especially in the province of Modica<\/a>, is the Cassatella di ricotta or Tuma cheese<\/strong>: a loaf stuffed with ricotta, pieces of chocolate and candied fruit. Instead of ricotta you can find a filling of Tuma cheese, a very fresh unsalted cheese, worked in together with sugar. The cake is decorated with vanilla icing sugar or chocolate powder.<\/p>\n

Lenten biscuits, which are traditional in Sicilian pastry, are made as votive dishes for Lent. Eating them was a perfect solution to the Catholic custom of fasting in the days leading up to Easter. Lenten biscuits are prepared throughout Sicily, from Enna<\/a> to Syracuse<\/a>, from Catania<\/a> to Palermo<\/a>, but what they have in common is the use of almonds.<\/p>\n

We call it u Pupu ccu l’ovu<\/em> and it means “puppet with egg”, but it has different names depending where it comes from: “campanaru<\/em>” or “cannatuni<\/em>” in Trapani<\/a>, “pupu cc\u00f9 l’ovu<\/em>” in Palermo<\/a>, “cannileri<\/em>” in the Enna<\/a> area, “panaredda<\/em>” in Agrigento<\/a> and Syracuse<\/a>, “cuddura cull\u2019ovu<\/em>“, “aceddu cull\u2019ovu<\/em>” or “ciciliu<\/em>” a Catania<\/a>, “palummedda<\/em>” in the south-western part of the island.<\/p>\n

It’s a typical Easter biscuit that comes in various shapes (baskets, doves, horses, hearts) that used to be exchanged between lovers, family and friends on Easter Sunday instead of Easter Eggs.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, u pupu<\/em> is prepared at home: the biscuit dough is adorned with hard-boiled eggs left in their shell and finally decorated with sprinkles or coloured sugar balls. The hard-boiled eggs, inserted as decoration, once had to be odd in number and preferably numbered twenty-one, to recall the day when spring begins.<\/p>\n

Finally, the queen of all Sicilian desserts that must be tried at Easter is the famous Cassata siciliana<\/a>, so much so that an ancient proverb says: “If you don’t eat cassata on Easter morning, you’re poor<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

In addition to the desserts from the ancient Sicilian tradition, you’ll find this holiday’s great classics: chocolate eggs, a symbol of life and renewal, and artisanal doves to try, stuffed with Avola almonds<\/a>, Bronte pistachios<\/a> or Modica chocolate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The renowned Sicilian desserts tastes best on special occasions. At Easter<\/strong>, on the feast that coincides with spring<\/strong>, on the tables set to celebrate and in the windows of the bars, sweet delicacies show up everywhere!<\/p>\n

Most of the Easter desserts in Sicily<\/strong> come from the ancient tradition of making cakes and biscuits in monasteries and convents, the result of the skill and imagination of the nuns.
