About this Event

Learn to make one of the most traditional Southern Italian Christmas desserts.

Called "Struffoli", "Pignolata", "Cicerchiata" depending on the southern Italian region they are made - these fried balls of sweet dough are covered in honey and arranged into festive wreaths or topped with sprinkles for a sweet and delicious holiday dessert display.

In this hands-on class you will make the sweet dough and then learn how to shape, fry and form the Struffoli.

Everyone will go home with their very own creation in time for the holidays.

All participants receive a Recipe Book via email after the class with the recipes so you can go home and share this with your loved ones for the holiday season.

Please read FAQs below this description before calling with questions.
