7. Sfogliatelle (Lobster Tails)

Tell people you'd like a lobster tail for dessert, and some might give you a funny look, but this pastry is just as indulgent as the crustacean. Lobster tails (or sfogliatelle) are made of layers of crispy, paper-thin pastry that—in America—is filled with pastry cream. Like many Italian desserts, it's great for people who don't like sugary sweet desserts.
