Incredibly Delicious Italian Dessert Recipes For Dessert Lovers

In the history of desserts, famous Italian dessert recipes definitely stand out. Italian desserts range in flavor from bitter to sweet and they go nicely with a glass of wine. In Italy, the locals are just as likely to eat a piece of fruit for dessert as an indulgent, creamy confection.

jello shots

If you have visited an Italian bakery, you will have seen many different varieties of cookies and biscotti. The Italians like to dunk their biscotti in red wine. A lot of Italian cookies are sweet but not excessively so and light glazes often provide most of the flavoring. Nuts or candied fruit are often added too. Biscotti might be very popular in the United States but in Italy hard, slightly sweet twice baked cookies are more popular. They are baked twice to remove as much moisture as possible, which makes the cookies dry, crumbly, and hard.

JELLO

Which is the Most Famous Italian Dessert?

Tiramisu is thought to have originated in Siena. Duke Cosimo de Medici enjoyed it so much that it spread around the world with Italian immigrants. Tiramisu is a delicious combination of lady finger cookies, liquor, espresso, cocoa, mascarpone cheese, and eggs.

The best known Italian cake has to be panettone, which is from Milan. Boxes of this cake can be found in cafes and Italian bakeries during the holiday season all over the world. The fluffy panettone dough is flavored with raisins and candied fruit pieces and the cake is shaped like a dome. Italians enjoy panettone with zabaglione custard or mascarpone cheese and a glass of liqueur or dessert wine.

Perhaps you have tried Italian gelato. This is ice cream made with milk, sugar and flavoring. Sometimes it contains eggs and cream. Gelato is churned less than regular ice cream, making it less airy and more dense. Italian desserts are best eaten in moderation because a lot of them are very rich. If you find a lot of Italian desserts heavenly but a bit too rich, why not make your own and change the ingredients to tone them down a bit?

Using Jello in Italian Dessert Recipes

Gelato is a great candidate for experimentation with jello. Italian ice cream is nearly free of air, which makes it dense and super heavy. By combining gelato, boiling water, and jello powder, you can create a deliciously light dessert with a nice texture and any jello flavor you like. You can use sugar free jello to halve the calories because half the dessert is jello and the sugar free kind is also calorie free.

If you happen to own an ice cream machine, you can make gelato with kool aid and jello, which tastes great and makes a refreshing dessert on balmy summer evenings. Jello goes with a lot of ingredients, with fruit trifle being a great example.

Jello also goes nicely with fruit pieces, with custard or zabaglione or with chocolate. In fact, it is one of the most versatile dessert ingredients you can get and it is great for making Italian dessert recipes lighter. Dessert making is a creative process and you might feel like making a rich, luxurious tiramisu one day and healthier layer jello recipes the next.

Lemony Jello - Simple Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake is a delicious dessert and thanks to jello, simple to make. Many times there is a word or phrase used in the ingredients or directions that is unfamiliar. When it is looked up, the description is often a surprise. We learn something to share with others, and make our recipes turn out better.

jello molds

Desiccated coconut is one of those terms. The coconut is shredded and flaked. Next, as much moisture as possible is removed. Sometimes the coconut is taken past flakes, to a powdery substance. There is unsweetened and sweetened desiccated coconut.

JELLO

When you find a recipe that uses desiccated coconut, look to see if it specifies sweetened or unsweetened. It is important to keep the balance of flavor in your recipe. Too much or too little sugary additives can throw the taste off. If the recipe does not indicate what is needed, take a look at the other ingredients. If there are a lot of sugary tastes in other ingredients, select the unsweetened variety. When it looks like the coconut is the only source of sweetening, use the sweetened type.

Desiccated coconut swells somewhat when it comes in contact with moisture. It needs to be stored in a tightly-sealed container, away from humidity. When used in a recipe, it will swell. Coconut flakes and shreds will get larger when put in brownie, cookie, or cake batter. If the powdered type is used, there is less increase in size.

If the recipe calls for desiccated coconut, but you are unable to find it, use sweetened or unsweetened dried coconut, according to what is called for in the recipe. Dried coconut has higher moisture content. Measure out a little less than the amount in the recipe. For instance, remove a tablespoon of flaked coconut from the cup requested when measuring. That should account for the moisture already in the dried coconut.

Simple Lemony Jello Cheesecake

Like most cheesecake recipes, this one uses a springform pan. Family and visitors will be impressed with the lovely dessert you have prepared.

What You Need:

1 1/2 cups coconut cookies, crushed 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut 1/2 cup melted butter 1 package lemon jello 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup boiling water 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup softened cream cheese

How To Make It:

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the vanilla and condensed milk until thick.

Serves 8
