SARDINIAN CARNIVAL SWEET MERAVIGLIAS with Thermomix or without, grandmother’s original recipe, typical fried carnival sweets, honey, orange or lemon scented in hand shape or classic carnival chiacchiere.
The sweet meraviglias are typical Sardinian carnival sweets that change name depending on the area, they are delicious and can be enjoyed either with bitter honey and citrus peel or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
The recipe for sweet meraviglias is very simple, taken from a typical Sardinian cookbook, it is the same as my Sardinian grandmother’s, of course. They are made in the shape of small hands or with cookie cutters, or in the form of classic lozenges, strictly fried as my grandmother did.
They are very good, crunchy, and tasty, perfect with bitter honey and citrus peels, but if you don’t have time, sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

FAQ (Questions and Answers) SARDINIAN CARNIVAL SWEET MERAVIGLIAS
Can I bake the sweet meraviglias in the oven or with an air fryer?
Of course! The taste and texture will obviously change, but they are still good.
Why are they topped with bitter honey?
Because the bitter honey contrasts with the frying, making the sweet lighter on the palate.
