Dolcetti is the Italian for sweets. It’s also what Milano in Ireland (Pizza Express in the UK) calls its range of mini deserts that come with a tea or coffee. And the one that was brought back by popular demand after it was dropped from the menu is the Caffè Reale; mini figs in syrup with mascarpone. Food detectives have determined that if you provide the mascarpone and the hot drink (I prefer a double espresso), you can get the rest from The Bay Tree. But if they don’t ship to where you live, you can make the syrup yourself.

Ingredients

  • baby figs
  • syrup
  • marscapone cheese

Syrup

  • 240g brown sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 200 ml white wine
  • 35 ml white rum
  • 5 ml lemon juice
