This is our collection of Italian dessert recipes for holidays, seasons of the year, everyday, and special occasions.  It contains traditional and non-traditional (cucina nuova)
Italian desserts for simple family gatherings or for entertaining.  Each region of Italy has its own unique history, foods, customs, and dialects. Each small town may even
have its own special desserts.  Many of these desserts are for holidays ... panettone (sweet raisin bread) and strufoli (fried honey clusters) for Christmas and sweet rice
cake and ricotta pie to celebrate Easter.  Other desserts such as biscotti, tiramisu, gelato, or cannoli are eaten throughout the year.  So many of these authentic Italian
dessert recipes have not been written down by our mothers, aunts, and grandmothers and have been lost.  It is our intent to preserve these traditional Italian desserts for
future generations.

Unlike a classic round shape, this endearing heart adds a truly
meaningful accent to birthday or anniversary parties, bridal
showers, Valentine's Day, or romantic dinners.
Crisp, sweet, and decoratively imprinted, pizzelle cookies make a
wonderful dessert any time of the year. To use, simply scoop a
spoonful of batter on each round nonstick surface of the press,
close and latch the lid.  Pizzelles are ready in less than a minute.
Roll the warm pizzelle around  a wooden dowel to make cannoli, or
shape over an inverted custard cup to make a tiny dessert bowl.
Pizzelle harden as they cool, and can be eaten flat like crisp cookies
or shaped and filled with chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or fruit.
Traditional Italian cannoli are easy to make at home with these metal
cannoli forms. Simply cut wrap an oval or circle of dough, around a
tube and drop it in hot oil. Once cooled, the tube is removed to add a
filling or ricotta cream, pastry cream, or whipped cream. Cannoli shells
can also be baked using these forms.
With a minimum freezing temperature of -4 degrees F, the
Simac Gelato Junior takes only about 30 minutes to satisfy
your craving for a frozen confection. Plus, the built-in
compressor freezer operates continuously, so you can turn
out multiple flavors of ice cream while your guests finish
their dinner.  The unit is also useful for crafting frozen drinks
and chilled soups.
With 50 essential tools, this kit makes it easy to cover a
cake with roses, hearts, and cartoon characters in no time.
If you're reluctant to test your skills on a freshly baked cake,
there's a practice board for experimentation. There's also
food coloring, spatulas, and everything else required for a
memorable cake.  Plus there is plenty of room to add new
items and keep everything organized.
Make dozens of yummy cookies in a flash. The stainless steel
trigger mechanism allows easy, one-handed (whether you're
left or right-handed!) cookie making using any of the 14
interchangeable discs. A see-through plastic barrel lets you
quickly determine how much of the contents are left.
Introducing a hand mixer that's as easy to put away as it
is to operate.  Once it has mixed heavy batters, whipped
up fluffy meringues, and kneaded homemade bread
dough, just clean it up and put it away. Extra long beaters,
chef's whisk, and dough hooks fit into a clear case, and
the mixer snaps on top.
A patented angled surface lets you read measurement markings by
looking straight down into the cup and eliminates the need to fill,
check, and adjust the amount of liquid you are measuring.
