Zeppoli, also known as Italian doughnuts, are deep-fried pastries popular in Italian cuisine, typically enjoyed as a dessert or festive treat. Made from a simple dough comprising flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and water, they are often flavored with vanilla or citrus zest. After frying, they’re traditionally dusted with powdered sugar or served with dipping sauces like chocolate or honey. While Zeppoli offers a delightful, airy texture and rich flavor, they are high in calories, sugar, and saturated fats due to the frying process and added toppings. They contain minimal nutrients and are best enjoyed in moderation as an indulgent treat rather than a regular part of a healthy diet. Variants may include fillings like custard or cream, adding to their sweetness. Zeppoli exemplifies the artistry of Italian pastry-making but should be consumed thoughtfully due to its low nutritional profile.
