Chiacchiere and tortellini! The most fun time of the year begins again.
Carnival is a celebration of color, joy, and, above all, traditional sweets. At Giacomazzi 1968 , we celebrate this season with two of the greatest Italian pastry chefs: crispy chiacchiere and sweet tortellini . Two artisanal creations, high-quality ingredients, and a respect for traditional recipes make these desserts perfect for a delicious celebration.
Crunchy, light and irresistible
Chiacchiere are the iconic Carnival sweets, known and loved throughout Italy by various names: frappe, bugie, cenci. At Giacomazzi 1968, we prepare them following the traditional recipe, using flour, fresh eggs, butter, and a touch of liqueur to make them even more fragrant.
The dough, once rolled out very thin, is cut and shaped by hand, then fried until light and crispy. Finally, a generous dusting of powdered sugar provides the perfect balance of sweetness. Perfect for sharing with family or friends, chiacchiere are the epitome of the lightness and joy of Carnival.
A delicious filling for a traditional dessert
Less well-known but equally delicious, sweet Carnival tortellini are a traditional specialty of our country. Their distinctive feature lies in their soft, fragrant filling , encased in a crumbly, golden pastry shell.
The recipe calls for a dough made with flour, butter, sugar, and eggs , which is kneaded until the perfect consistency is achieved. The center of the tortellino is filled with jam or cream , and after baking, it is covered with a generous layer of powdered sugar , which enhances the contrast between the soft filling and the crunchy shell.
These desserts are a true explosion of flavor and represent a piece of our pastry shop's history.
