Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a chilled bowl, beat the 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 2 maritozzo buns horizontally without cutting all the way through, leaving a hinge.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the whipped cream generously into each bun, filling it to your liking.

  4. Step 4

    Grate the 1 oz dark chocolate over the cream-filled buns.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, or chill for 10 minutes for a firmer set.
