Pignolata is a Sicilian pastry originating in the city of Messina, made as a single large sweet meant to be cut into pieces for sharing. One version is a soft pastry dough finished half in chocolate icing and half in lemon flavored icing, each side hardening separately for a distinctive two tone presentation; another is made of small fried pastry balls coated in a hot honey sauce with chopped almonds or hazelnuts. It was traditionally prepared for Carnival, the last celebration before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent.
