Sfogliatella frolla is a traditional Italian pastry originating from the Campania region, particularly associated with the city of Naples. Unlike its flaky counterpart, sfogliatella riccia, sfogliatella frolla features a soft, cookie-like outer shell made from a sweet dough. This pastry is typically filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta cheese, sugar, and candied citrus peel, offering a delightful balance of textures and flavors. The name "sfogliatella" translates to "thin leaves," referring to the layered appearance of the pastry. It is often enjoyed as a breakfast item or dessert and is commonly paired with coffee. This treat has become popular beyond Italy, delighting pastry lovers around the world.
