We spent our 25th anniversary
visiting the south of Italy. One of our favorite places was the Amalfi Coast.
The dramatic mountain cliffs rise up against the emerald-blue sea sparkling in
the sunlight below. Pastel colored villages carved into the mountain-side
shine vibrantly against the landscape, while scented lemon groves and a salty
sea breeze fill the air!
The drive along this spectacular coastline is
simply breathtaking. It’s not, though, for the faint of heart!!!
With steep rock on one side and a dramatic drop to the Mediterranean on the
other, the narrow road clings to the mountain and follows the twisting
shoreline, resulting in winding roads and sharp curves. Equipped with a
sense of adventure and some solid advice, you can drive the coast and
experience one of the most beautiful drives in the world.
But the drive was worth it. We stopped and got a
Delizia (delight) al limone (lemon) dessert. Lemons have been the symbol of the Amalfi coast for long time, but just recently their taste was captured into
little, creamy yellow cake, which fast enough became as famous as the Limoncello.
Delizie al
limone are composed of sponge cake, layered with lemon cream and covered with
fresh whipped cream. A perfect way to finish an Italian dinner or just to gorge
yourself during your Italian holiday. Bellissimo!
Delizie al
limone is one of the most delicious lemon desserts of mankind found on
the Amalfi Coast! We are with Clemente, host son #2 from Capriglia!
