likely, you think of the old stand by's such as spaghetti or lasagna,
maybe bread and some wine. While those are great, everyone knows the best
part of the meal is dessert. Italian desserts are no different; they
offer a tasty treat to end a meal with.
Perhaps one of the most well known Italian desserts in the United States
is Biscotti. This is a hard, dry cookie (of sorts) that is traditionally
slightly bitter, however, Americans tend to like their biscotti sweeter
than their Italian counter parts. Traditionally, biscotti is dipped in a
red wine for dessert, to soften it up. In America, it is often dipped in
coffee as a snack.
While Italians are known for their bread style desserts, they also make
great custards and custard style desserts. Zabaglione is what is a called
a simple custard made of a dessert wine, sugar and egg yolks. While this
particular custard dessert is sometimes combined with other ingredients,
it is often enjoyed on its own. When served by itself, it is usually
warm, topped with whipped cream or chocolate (either shaved or powdered).
If sweet toppings are not to your liking…try this delicious dessert topped
with fresh fruit instead.
No article involving Italian desserts would be complete without a mention
of the cannoli. This is perhaps the most popular, well-known of all
Italian desserts. It is made when a hollow pastry shell is filled with
Ricotta cheese (this can be either fresh or sweetened). The cheese can be
plain, or it can have fruit, chocolate or any of a number of other
ingredients mixed in. Typically, the ends of the cannoli are dipped in
chopped pistachio nuts, both to add flavor and as a finishing touch to
this wonderful dessert.
The next time that you head out to dinner with friends or family, don't
leave after the pasta and bread is gone. Treat yourself to a truly
amazing dining experience, order dessert and wine, make the evening last
well into the night.
