Torta della Nonna, or “Grandmother’s Cake,” is a beloved Tuscan dessert that tastes like a warm hug in pastry form.
We start with a buttery, golden shortcrust base, fill it with smooth lemon-infused custard, and top it with a delicate scatter of toasted pine nuts and almonds. Finished with a light dusting of sugar, it’s creamy, citrusy, and comforting in every bite.
Enjoy it chilled with a cup of espresso, or serve slightly warm as the perfect finale to any meal.

Perfect for dinner parties, Sunday lunches, or gifting someone a slice of Italian love. Serve with a spoonful of whipped cream or just as it is — it needs no dressing up.
Had this with my afternoon coffee and it was perfect. Just sweet enough, with lovely texture.
The pastry was buttery and held together nicely. Loved the dusting of sugar and the little crunch from the pine nuts.
Loved the mix of the soft filling and crunchy nuts on top. Really delicate flavours, nothing too much.
The crust inside was so creamy and smooth. Proper comfort food — felt like something homemade.
Tastes like autumn in a tart. The flavours were gentle and warm — really lovely.
