Zeppole (zeppoli) is a fried choux pastry traditionally eaten on March 19th, which is St. Joseph Day (la festa di San Giuseppe), also father's day in Italy.
Like cream puffs, it is usually filled with custard cream but I used mascarpone cheese like tiramisu :D
Father's day in Japan is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June, but I made zeppole for a change. hehe
I hope you like this idea!
