Latteruolo

Latteruolo, also known as casadello, is a traditional dessert from the Romagna region of Italy. It is a simple, custard-like sweet made with milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, often baked in a shell of pasta matta (a basic dough of flour and water), but that is not a must.

Historically, farmers would prepare this dessert as a gift to their landowners for the Corpus Domini celebration on June 10th. If made without pasta matta, the dessert is gently cooked in a bain-marie at a low temperature for several hours, resulting in a creamy, aromatic treat typically served in slices, reflecting its rustic, peasant origins.
