Iris is a typical Sicilian dessert, a fried brioche filled with ricotta cream or other variations such as pistachio or chocolate. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, it is a unique experience for the palate.
Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, salt, and lard.
Dissolve the brewer's yeast in the milk and add it to the dough.
Incorporate the eggs and knead until you get a soft mixture.
Let the dough rise until doubled in volume.
Roll out the dough and cut out discs.
Fill the discs with ricotta cream and seal them in pairs.
Let rise again for about 1 hour.
Dip the brioches in beaten eggs and then in breadcrumbs.
Fry in hot oil until golden brown.

Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend that you carefully check the product page before purchasing and contact the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote and make Italian food Made in Italy more accessible. We select e-commerce food sellers with coherent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is linked to an identifiable seller and a complete information sheet: we want buying here to mean buying with confidence.
Delivery times and costs depend on the seller and the destination. At checkout you will always find the current delivery estimate before confirming payment. For international shipments, times may vary depending on the country and the carrier.
