Cuccia

Cuccia or dolce di Santa Lucia is a unique Sicilian dessert consisting of wheat berries, ricotta cheese, and sugar. Some cooks like to add dark chocolate, cinnamon, or candied fruit into the combination in order to enhance the flavors.

The dish is traditionally consumed on December 13, known as the Feast of Santa Lucia, celebrating the eponymous martyr who ended famine in Sicily by bringing a ship full of wheat to Syracuse. Cuccia requires a few days of preparation and it's traditionally served cold.
