Prinjolata is a traditional dessert from Malta.[5] The dessert gets its name from the Maltese word prinjol meaning pine nuts which are used in both the filling and the topping.[6]
Cultural significance
[edit | edit source]Prinjolata is generally prepared as a treat to be eaten at the Maltese Carnival; a festival introduced to Malta in the 1400s, and popularised by the Knights of St John a century later. In Malta, Carnival is held five days before Ash Wednesday.[7]
