Fruit desserts are often quick and easy. These types of desserts are common throughout Italy.

These desserts are easy to make:

Peaches in Marsala
Strawberry Granita Recipe
Pears Stuffed With Gorgonzola Cheese Recipe

Thanks, Paula...They sound good! What is your favourite dessert?

Would you say tiramisu is the most popular dessert among Italians? Do you have a easy recipe for this one?

I can say without a doubt baklava is the most popular dessert with Greeks...

My absolute favorite Italian dessert is Torta Meringata. It's a frozen cake with a merengue crust and filling that is a cross between whipped cream and a canolli filling.

I'm still trying to perfect my recipe and so haven't posted it yet.

I wouldn't say that in Italy tiramisu is the most popular dessert. Tartufo is extremely popular. This is an ice cream dessert that comes in different flavors. It's a creamy, rich dessert that is not the same as gelato.

Here is my Tiramis� Recipe: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art25381.asp

I have never heard of Torta Meringata, but it sounds interesting...

Yes, I have had tartufo many times and love it!
I have also had gelato, but I'm not crazy about it...


Thanks, for the recipe!

Persoanl tastes vary, and sometimes we can repeat perfectly a recipe and have things turn out differently.

Don't be afraid to play with the recipe to get the taste you are looking for. You can still mix in more sugar.

Someone recently asked about using honey. If I used honey I would mix it in after straining.

I am looking for a recipe for Tortelli con Zucca that I had in Montova, Italy. It has pumpkin, cheese, egg and amaretti cookies. Would love to make these using won ton wrappers. Thank you for any assistance you may provide.
