Bianco e nero messinese is a typical sweet from the city of Messina made of cream puffs filled with vanilla whipped cream (chantilly cream ) and covered with gianduia cream and chocolate sheets. From the alternation of cream and chocolate the name "Black and White."
It is a Sicilian, or rather Messina, variation of Profiterol, from which it differs mainly in its covering, which is not melted dark chocolate but a very soft cream and gianduja paste base.
