Staten Island Bakery's 7-Layer Cookie Donut: A Sweet Hybrid Sensation
Staten Island, NY – A unique dessert hybrid, the Italian 7-layer cookie donut, is gaining attention at Belli Baci Bakery in Staten Island. Food enthusiast Vinny, known for his online reviews, recently showcased the innovative treat, highlighting its distinctive appearance and rich flavors. The donut, generously coated in chocolate and sprinkles, conceals vibrant layers of red, white, and green cake separated by a sweet jelly filling. According to Vinny, the dessert offers a "nice spongy moisty cake texture" and a "really nice ratio between the chocolate and that jelly filling." He particularly praised the "nice like marzipan almond paste type flavor" that distinguishes the Italian cookie base. Belli Baci Bakery reportedly sells out of these unique donuts daily, operating on a first-come, first-served basis due to high demand. Vinny described the experience of trying the dessert for the first time, stating that it "definitely how it should taste like." The fusion of a classic Italian cookie with a donut form factor offers a novel culinary experience for dessert lovers.
