Last year I shared with you my Easter gift guide full of
Pear & Chocolate Colomba
Instead of giving an Easter egg this year, why not go for an alternative foodie gift such as this Pear and Chocolate Colomba? It’s an Italian Easter cake studded with juicy pieces of candied Williams pear. The finishing touch is an indulgent white chocolate topping with dark chocolate chips.
Colomba di Pasqua, or ‘Easter Doves’, are traditional dove-shaped Italian Easter cakes. Colomba is traditionally made with yeast and eggs, like panettone, but are topped with sugar icing or chocolate. Colomba undergo a quadruple-leavening process to make the finished cake exceptionally light and airy.
