Chifelini

These little fritters are a traditional sweet treat of the port city of Trieste. They are sometimes called chifeletti. They are also found all over the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and in neighbouring Trentino-Alto Adige. They are especially delicious when served at the end of a meal with a small glass of chilled sweet dessert wine, or as an afternoon snack with a cup of warming hot chocolate. Whatever you accompany them with, make sure they are served piping hot.
