If you take a look at the history of desserts and which ones have remained popular all over the world you will see that plenty of Italian dessert recipes stand out. These desserts range from slightly bitter to moderately sweet and a lot of them go nicely with a glass of wine or a liqueur. The Italians themselves often eat a piece of fruit as dessert instead of a traditional sweet Italian delicacy.
You might have paid a visit to an Italian bakery and, if so, you will have seen a large range of biscotti and cookies. The Italians enjoy dipping their biscotti in red wine. Many Italian cookies are sweet but not extremely sweet and a lot of the flavoring comes from the light glaze on top, as well as the nuts or candied fruit in the cookies. Biscotti are well known in the United States but the Italians eat harder, slightly sweet twice baked cookies than biscotti. The cookies are baked twice to remove moisture and make them hard, dry, and crumbly.
Very Famous Italian Desserts
Tiramisu is a heavenly combination of espresso, liquor, lady finger cookies, eggs, mascarpone cheese, and cocoa. It is thought to have originated in Siena. Tiramisu was Duke Cosimo de Medici's favorite dessert recipe and Italian immigrants spread the recipe worldwide.
Panettone is a tasty Italian dessert cake. It is originally from Milan and is found in cafes and Italian bakeries all over the world during the festive season. Panettone is dome-shaped and flavored with candied fruit and raisins. The Italians eat it with mascarpone cheese or zabaglione custard and some liqueur or wine on the side.
Italian gelato is also a famous Italian treat. It is essentially ice cream made with milk, sugar, and flavorings. It is churned less than other kinds of ice cream, making it dense and rich, rather than airy and light. For some people, most Italian sweets are too rich and too sweet. Others love the heavenly flavors. If Italian desserts are too rich for you, why not tone them down by making your own and altering the ingredients?
Jello and Italian Dessert Recipes
Jello and gelato go together very nicely, although this may not be a combination that might have crossed your mind before it is worth a try. If you combine jello powder, boiling water and jello, you can make a light dessert with a great flavor and texture. You can combine many different jello flavors and gelato flavors. Using sugar free jello means you can trim a lot of calories from the finished dessert too.
You can mix ice cream, kool aid, and jello in your ice cream machine if you have one, to make a light and refreshing dessert, which is particularly great on warm summer evenings. Jello goes well with a lot of different ingredients and fruit trifle is a good example.
Jello complements the flavors of chocolate, fruit, custard and much more. You can use it to make wonderful recipes like strawberry jello pretzel salad or to stretch Italian recipes further to feed a large family. Simple ideas such as poking holes in an Italian cake or sweet bread, pouring over jello and allowing it to set is a great dessert, which all the family will enjoy.
