So you can spoil yourself with the creamy dessert base and convince yourself you're eating healthily with the fresh raspberry topping - ideal!

Semiffredo all’Amaretto

This is one of the most delicious of Italian dessert recipes we know and a particular favourite with our family.

Full of creamy goodness, it mixes nougat with crunchy Amaretto biscuits to create a taste that’s just to die for.

Sweet pizza dough

Not well-known outside of Italy, this is a lovely base for a scrumptious dessert.

It looks - and is! - sloppy to make but it's a simple recipe and with the right topping, delicious to eat!

Strawberry pizza

Although any fruit topping can be used on a sweet pizza, strawberries are particularly delicious.

This recipe combines the fruit with a delicious creamy base to make a gorgeous summertime recipe.

Easter pie

This gorgeous pie is wonderful at any time of year, but in Italy is traditionally sold by the slice and eaten only at Easter.

Originally from Naples, it’s one of the classic Italian dessert recipes now eaten throughout the country.

Christmas pizza

Think of Christmas food and pizza won’t necessarily be first on your list.

This delightful sweet pizza is a recipe specific to Le Marche. Crammed with all the flavours of Christmas, it’s eaten as a biscuit throughout the holiday period - accompanied, naturally, by an espresso!
