Figolli

A figolla is a sweet dessert created with an almond filling and encased in a pastry shell. The form usually resembles an Easter-themed emblem, such as a bunny, a lamb, or a heart shape. After that, the pastry is iced or covered in chocolate. On the figolla, a little Easter egg is usually put. On Easter Day, it's the perfect delicious treat to enjoy with family and friends.

Figolli are famous for their delicious intrita filling, which is essentially almond paste. It's sweet and scrumptious. The Maltese prefer to coat their figolli in icing sugar or melted chocolate, and half of a chocolate Easter egg is sometimes placed on top. When visiting Malta during the Easter season, the figolli are a must-try! They are a very distinctive Maltese delicacy.
