CLASSIC and CHOCOLATE PASTIERA single recipe 2 VERSIONS Easter dessert 🐣

Apr 2, 2026 ITALIA
PASTIERA is a must-have on the Easter table, even though it's a traditional dessert from Campania. It's now so common that it's become a custom throughout Italy! I realized that even though I make it every year, I've never posted the recipe for the CHOCOLATE VERSION! Many of you have asked for it, and here it is! 👍
It's delicious in both versions. I love the classic version, but the chocolate one has that extra flavor that I like!
Make them and let me know; it's worth it!

I'm just saying, I don't know if it'll make it for Easter! 😅
