Torta della Nonna Class
On-Demand Class: Video Replay + Detailed Recipe
To celebrate our 100th class with Chicca’s Cooking Club, we couldn’t have chosen a better dessert—Torta della Nonna. This beloved classic of Tuscan cuisine has won the hearts of many dessert lovers with its simplicity and irresistible flavor.
I’ll teach you how to make a delicate shortcrust pastry shell filled with rich, velvety custard—one of the very first desserts I made when I started cooking. We’ll top this sweet creation with pine nuts, which add the perfect crunch as they toast in the oven. And just before serving, a light dusting of powdered sugar adds the final touch of magic.
Though its origins are debated between Arezzo and Florence, one thing is certain—this timeless treat brings comfort and joy to every table. With a little nostalgia from our nonna!
