Mini Pan-rozzi from Abruzzo
A typical Christmas dessert from Abruzzo made in a dome-shaped mold with almonds, amaretto liqueur, and semolina, topped with a layer of dark chocolate. This year, to change things up, I decided to make single servings so that they are much more convenient to serve as they are already portioned! I must say they are really delicious and will surely be very much appreciated by your loved ones!
