This delicious sweet rice pie is a traditional Italian dessert we always enjoyed on Easter Sunday. This is an original recipe from Naples, Italy. When I was young, my mother and her sisters would prepare all the food for Easter in advance, which was laid out on the table for the local parish priest to bless after mass.
