dolce heaven
Who said ice cream isn’t suitable for breakfast? Ask any Sicilian foodie, and they’ll tell you that the iconic breakfast duo is undoubtedly 'granita con brioche.' Picture this: freshly baked 'Brioche col tuppo,' with charming topknot, paired with granita crafted from seasonal ingredients—a lighter, refreshing cousin of gelato. Accompany this delightful duo with your choice of milk or espresso, and you’ve entered a realm of hot and cold sweet heaven that no one can resist. And when shopping for souvenirs for Nonna and Nonno, do me a favor, skip the olive oil or lemon products. Instead, visit a delightful pasticceria and gather an assortment of sweet treats to ensure you “the favorite grandchild” of the year.
