Neapolitan Layered Pastry

Description

Delicious baked treat for the whole family. This dessert recipe was invented in 1600 at one of the Italian monasteries and was long kept secret. Of course, in pastry shops the process is more complex—they make puff pastry "from scratch." Also, the filling is different—based on a cream made from semolina with cottage cheese and candied fruits. But at home, we prepare it faster and simpler, and the result will be excellent.
