Our Favorite Italian Desserts
When you want to please a crowd, one surefire plan is to opt for Italian food, and this is just as true when you hit the dessert course. We’re all for innovation, but when you’ve got a good thing, why reinvent the wheel? From Italian cookies to creamy gelato, these are dolci as we want them and as we have come to expect, and they will always conclude a meal with smiles. Wondering where to start? You can't go wrong with tiramisu. Yes, it does consume some time to assemble one, like this uber-traditional one from Alex Guarnaschelli, but there will be nothing outside of your skill set. Make it once, and you’ll be hooked, not from the gasps of delight of anyone you serve it to, but from those creamy, cool flavors that are truly the ultimate pick-me-up.
