One of my main reasons why I love to be in Sicily is the Iris, a pastry that is indescribably delicious but it is a thing for the initiated. A soft roll has its inside dough removed and it's filled with ricotta and bits of chocolate along with vanilla flavoring. It is coated with breadcrumbs and deep flied. Afterwards it's coated with sugar. Not for those on a diet or on insulin. Not the lightest sweet but, for me, the most delicious one. To save calories I omit sugar from my caffe' or cappuccino.
