Cassata

Recipe by: Celeste

Be the first to review it!

This is one of my favourite desserts to make for company in the spring. It’s easy with store-bought sponge cake and it looks like it took hours to prepare with the candied fruit/ricotta filling and green tinted marzipan covering. Some variations use gelato instead of ricotta, but I prefer it best with ricotta.

Charlotte alla Milanese

Recipe by: Manuela

This is my version of a delectable pud I had in Milan. You could chill this before serving, but I like it warm. The rum at the end is optional, but makes for a nice presentation at a dinner party.

Classic Panna Cotta

Recipe by: CHERYLA33

A traditional, easy and delicious Italian pud. I had a difficult time finding a good and easy recipe on the internet, so I made up my own recipe. It tastes just like the panna cotta served in Italy. This keeps well for several days in the refrigerator.

Dulcia Domestica

Recipe by: GODGIFU

Reviews(5)

This dish of dates stuffed with chopped nuts was once savoured in Ancient Rome. You can replace the pine nuts with almonds if you prefer.

Easy Tiramisu

Yummiest dessert ever! And very easy to make. This is my family's favourite. One serving is not enough! Believe me! Don't substitute the mascarpone with double cream. There is no tiramisu without mascarpone. And use the best quality coffee.

If you really want an all-out fancy, restaurant-style tiramisu, this is the one. People will speak of this for years to come. For easier assembly, you can also make it in a bowl like a trifle!

Grilled figs with ricotta

Recipe by: Andrea

This is a delicious way to use up fresh figs for a healthier dessert. They look beautiful with the toasted almond and ricotta filling.

Magic Tiramisu

Here is a simple, speedy yet utterly luxurious slant on the delectable Italian dessert of coffee and liqueur-flavoured sponge topped with a creamy mascarpone layer and dusted with chocolate. Delicious!

Mat Armett's Tiramisu

Recipe by: MatArmett

This recipe is great but I cheat using a ready made flan base, but you can use Sponge fingers instead. However the flan base looks better for presentation and saves time.

Mini zuccotto

Recipe by: Andrea

These are beautiful little desserts perfect to serve for company. A ready-made Madeira cake makes it simple and the cream/nut mixture in the middle is absolutely delicious.

Mocha ricotta tiramisu

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Reviews(1)

This delectable version of the popular Italian dessert includes the traditional sponge biscuits soaked in coffee and liqueur for the base, but rather than a rich topping there is a light and creamy mixture of sweetened ricotta cheese and Greek-style yogurt. A sprinkling of grated dark chocolate is the finishing touch.

My Favourite Tiramisu

Recipe by: leah34f

Be the first to review it!

You'll need 4 large bowls, an electric mixer and a triffle bowl (or a 5in deep 8 x 12in glass dish). If you do not have an electric mixer, the prep time is slightly longer as you will have to beat everything by hand. TIP: If you can't find ladyfingers, you can use plain Rich Shorties Biscuits or any plain biscuit TIP: You can add the inside of one vanilla pod or 1 tps vanilla extract to the custard mixture and freeze to make a creamy ice cream.

This traditional Italian Christmas bread is also suitable for elevenses, afternoon tea or breakfast. Enjoy!

Panforte

Recipe by: Andrea

Be the first to review it!

I LOVE to make this impressive, but easy cake at Christmas! The cake is so sticky that you must use edible paper to line the pan. Don’t worry if the mixture seems to cool too quickly. Just warm it up in the microwave again and keep working.

Panna cotta

Recipe by: Florence

Be the first to review it!

This is such an easy, but beautiful dessert to serve for company in the summer when fresh berries are in season. Gelatine leaves work better, but powdered gelatine is easier to find generally.

Pannacotta

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

The traditional recipe for this ‘cooked cream’, from the Piedmont region of Italy, is made with rich double cream. This lighter version, served with a pretty rhubarb and strawberry compote, is delightfully smooth and creamy yet much lower in fat. Prepare it the day before serving, if possible.

Passion Fruit and Honey Zabaglione

Recipe by: Jan Cutler

Be the first to review it!

Fragrant passion fruit and honey make a heavenly combination for a fruity version of the Italian dessert, zabaglione. It tastes wonderful when dunked with sponge finger biscuits or strawberries. Delicious!
