Italian Dessert Recipes

Tiramisu Cake Recipe

Zabaglione Recipe

also called Zabaione, has its origins in Turin, as its name comes from San Pasquale Baylon.

It is very important to use good quality, fresh and genuine ingredients for a great result. It is probably the simpler amongst Italian dessert recipes, as it has only 3 ingredients and its goodness is based on their quality.

Panna Cotta Recipe

is a less well-known pudding that originated in the Piedmont region, but is nonetheless, very tasty.

Nowadays it is displaying a re-emergence and it is commonly found in menus and is always present in main menus in Italy.

Tart Recipes

reminds us of the home-made pies of our grandmothers. Try it and you'll discover what a wonderful aroma will emanate from your oven.

You can do it using traditional fruit jam, but it can also be varied by using apples, Nutella or even dried fruit. A great variation is using a custard cream to stuff this crust.

Amaretto Cookies

are typically found throughout Italy. As I live in Sardinia, I am loyal to the Sardinian ones I have loved from the first time I tried them. It is not often amongst the Italian dessert recipes, but I included it the same as it is often served after lunch or dinner.

Ladyfingers Recipe

The Italian ladyfingers recipe is a typical biscuit, once only homemade, that became more famous as used in tiramisu and zuppa inglese, two of the most known Italian dessert recipes. You can prepare them to be served with Zabaglione too.

It is simple to prepare and do not contain fat, only wheat flour, eggs and sugar.

Cupcake Recipes

I am sure you will soon begin to create your own cupcake recipes.

They are not typical from Italy nor amongst main Italian dessert recipes, but it seems that this kind of food fashion object is being strongly adopted by Italians too. You can use your fantasy to create cute and inviting new decorations for your cupcakes.

Almond Brittle Recipe

It is not often amongst Italian dessert recipes, but you can find this simple candy in most popular small villages celebrations in Italy. It is a healthy candy and also an easy and quick solution when you do not know what to prepare to present your guests!

Italian Desserts Recipes

I believe there may be so many Italian desserts recipes that go from mother to daughter in the so many small cities of Italy.

I know a recipe from my mother-in-law, done with ricotta cheese. You mix all the ingredients and form small balls that are then fried in boiling oil. You can dip them into honey or just powder some sugar on it. They can be served as a dessert, but also as a snack or as a side for an afternoon tea or coffee.

Custard Pie Recipes

The custard pie recipes aren't probably born in Italy, but I ate the best ones here for sure! From the mignon ones sold in pastry shops to the bigger ones, they all have that delicious fresh cream that matches with whatever you want. I do love them with fresh fruit, but the limit here is your imagination.
