Question: What are some tasty traditional Italian dessert ideas?
I'm going to an Italian potluck this week and looking for ideas for a dessert. Nothing too complex if possible....

Answers:

Cannoli, torta paesana, castagnaccio, tiramisú, meringhe, torta di ricotta, salame di cioccolato, torta millefoglie, crema catalana, cassata siciliana, Cannoli siciliani, frutta di marzapane..;)

Italian native



Easy cannoli

Sugar cones make creating cannoli E-Z!

Ingredients
3 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
Zest of 1 orange or 1 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
8 sugar cones
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Method
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, orange zest and sugar. Transfer mixture to a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag, snipping the corner off to create a homemade pastry bag

Squeeze the ricotta mixture into each of the sugar cones, filling them all the way until the mixture just bulges out of the cone.

Arrange the mini chocolate chips in a small, shallow plate or bowl. Sprinkle the cones with the confectioners sugar, if you like, then dip the exposed ricotta portion of the cone into the mini chocolate chips.



Tiramisu or Cannoli are typical Italian desserts.



Cannolis



Tiramisu!
I've never made it so I cant be sure how complex it is, but it's one of my all-time favorites!



Fried eggplant and cheese...
