Served hot straight from the oven with a golden crust and a soft, melting heart, this dessert pairs wonderfully with a cup of aromatic espresso or chilled cream, creating a harmony of flavors and a sense of celebration. The Sicilian soufflé is a small culinary journey to the heart of Italy where every flavor note unfolds with special charm.
