Italian dessert recipes tantalize the tastebuds...

...and the tummy! Italian dessert recipes MUST be discussed when talking about cooking Italian food. There is just something about Italian desserts that makes me go mmmm.



tiramisu recipe, tiramisu, italian dessert recipe Of course there are the widely recognized favorites, like tiramisu and cannoli.

But Italian dessert recipes go far beyond these iconic dishes.

Something you may want to try is a traditional granita. Most Americans may compare this frozen treat to what is sold in U.S. stores as "Italian Lemon Ice". However, making your own at home is MUCH closer to what you would actually find in any cafe in Italy.

Or, if you're going for something a little fancier, but still just as simple, try a creamy zabaglione. This warm and delicious treat will please any crowd.

And if you think that sounds good, what about serving a simple fruit salad?

Italians treat fruit as a dessert.

My mom still offers to peel me an apple or orange after even the most stomach-stretching dinner! And a super easy melon and berries fruit salad has often been spotted at our table post-mealtime.

You might be surprised how much your family enjoys this refreshing treat, too.

And if you're simply interested in learning more about dessert in the Italian culture, read all about gelato, the Italian ice cream that's so delicious the natives indulge at any time of day - or night!

When cooking Italian food as the main meal, it's only natural to follow with an Italian dessert.
