A thick layer of pistachio nutella on top of a pistachio sponge cake!
ChocoFusion, in Catania, defines itself as "the home of desserts" on its sign, but for us, it is also, in a way, one of the "homes of the pistachio".
To always keep up with the times, this shop periodically updates its menu, introducing new items and improving its desserts by following customer feedback (and a little bit of ours, as food bloggers, too).
For the end of 2018, a delicious new arrival appeared: the "Cuor di Pistacchio" cake.
It is an evolution of their "Brontese". To the very green layer of pistachio sponge cake, they have added an even greener layer of pistachio nutella, truly generous, with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios in the center (arranged, not coincidentally, in the shape of a heart).
The pistachio nutella is abundant and delicious, but never so much that it becomes cloying. The creaminess of the top layer contrasts with the pistachio sponge cake, which has a drier consistency, creating a mix of textures that pair perfectly together.
A new creation that takes the "old recipe" to a much higher level and deserves a rating of 9/10 for its intense pistachio concentration!
NB: we recommend pairing the cake with one or two scoops of gelato, which will make the sponge cake fresher and moister, amplifying its flavor.
