Sfoglio Polizzi Generosa is a traditional Sicilian dessert, made with layers of pastry, sweet ricotta, and dark chocolate.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the eggs and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the dough and line a tart pan with it. Prick the bottom with a fork.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, chocolate, and cinnamon. Spread this mixture over the dough.
Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips. Arrange the strips on top of the ricotta filling in a lattice pattern.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.
Let the sfoglio cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
