The Amalfi delight, also known as lemon delight, is one of Campania's best-known and most popular spoon desserts. These exquisite single-portion treats originated in Sorrento, but over time they have spread throughout the province, so much so that they have become a classic of Neapolitan pastries. The delicacies were first prepared in 1978 by Carmine Marzuillo, pastry chef who originally offered them as a single cake.
