A brioscia with its topknot, filled with pistachio gelato and scattered with chopped pistachios

The Sicilian summer treat: a soft 'tuppo' brioche filled with gelato, finished with warm pistachio cream and chopped Bronte pistachios.

From Zagara

  • 4 Sicula Briosce 'Tuppo' brioche buns
  • 4 tbsp BonCrem Pistachio 22%
  • 20 g Evergreen shelled Bronte PDO pistachios, roughly chopped

Meet the producer: Sicula Briosce

From your pantry

  • About 500 ml good gelato: pistachio, almond or vanilla

Method

  1. Warm the brioche in a 160°C oven for 3 minutes so the crumb softens.
  2. Meanwhile, stand the jar of pistachio cream in warm water for a few minutes until it pours easily.
  3. Lift off the tuppo, the little topknot, and split each brioche horizontally, leaving one side attached.
  4. Fill each brioche with two generous scoops of gelato.
  5. Spoon over the pistachio cream, scatter the chopped pistachios and set the tuppo back on top.
  6. Serve at once. In Sicily the tuppo is eaten first, dipped in the melting gelato.

Allergens in the pantry ingredients: milk; tree nuts in pistachio or almond gelato.
