Name that italian dessert.?!
Basically from what I am told it looks like a little single serving pie that is filled with chocolate (her favorite) or other fillings.
I would like to find a recipe to make it but I can't spell it or know what exactly it is. Can someone help! No one else I know can tell me exactly what it is.

I'm pretty sure that "Pasta Ciotti" is what you are looking for.
Below is a link for Mary Ann Esposito's recipe (has an Italian cooking show called "Ciao Italia" on PBS).
Hope this helps,

u r exactly right. they do look like little pies. They are called pastichiccoti(or close). trust me when I tell u
(as an old italian baker) you will not be able to make them.I'll tell u what they look like.they r triangle shaped.they have layers & layers of dough on them and butter in between the layers like puff pastry(and that's easy)is made. Find a good ITALIAN pastry shop and they have them.and your mother in law is right. there is choc. pudding in them and dusted on the outside with xxxsugar.Goggle it and u will deffentily find it.
Good luck
