The baked cassata is the ancestor of the current “Sicilian Cassata”, as originally the cassata consisted of a pastry shell filled with sweetened ricotta and then baked. According to some hypotheses the dessert has Arab origins, according to others its origins are linked to the Romans; what is certain is that it is a very ancient dessert. The baked Sicilian cassata consists of a shortcrust pastry shell, with a sponge cake base inside and filled with ricotta and dark chocolate chips. Once baked, it is cooled and dusted with icing sugar.
