Easy Italian Dessert Recipes





Looking for an easy Italian dessert recipes? Frustrated looking through lists of recipes? Feel like you need a magic wand to figure out which one is actually "easy"?



Problem solved! These recipes are a subset of this site which is entirely devoted to Italian Dessert recipes. Instead pouring through tons of pages, (which is maddening), I've narrowed down the easiest Italian desserts from this site.

Does that mean they taste like a third grade pudding cup? Nope. These desserts aren't that complicated. We use the same ingredients over and over. And you most likely have them in your pantry right now!Just cuz it's Italian doesn't mean it's only for the professionals to cook.

Bottom line - don't be afraid to try. These are called easy because:

  • there are no weird freaky ingredients


  • no complex procedures


  • no looooooong prep time


  • no crazy pans that you will only use once every 5 years


    • I cook and update my site all the time. Which means this page gets updated OFTEN! The "what's new" page is like a blog - I list what I pages I add, when I add the page. Big hint - book mark it!



    Thanks for stopping by. These really are the easy Italian Dessert Recipes. There's plenty of other ones on my site too. But I try to keep the ones fewer ingredients and steps on this page. Check out my home page (Italian Dessert Recipes)! Have dessert today, and every day at least once!

    lisa gianotti I love sugar and I eat dessert EVERYDAY! Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something.

    When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest.

    So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook.



    I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style.

    I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.

    Lisa
