Today’s post is all about the sweet stuff. The final part of the sculpting for the Italian book was a handful of desserts, which I completed yesterday, and I want to give you a sneak peek at all of the treats you’ll learn how to make with the new upcoming book.
A quick announcement before we dive into the desserts: Through June 25, all of my tutorials are 20% OFF with coupon code HEATWAVE. You can use the coupon on individual books OR on any of my boxed sets, which are already heavily discounted. Make this the summer of sculpting and collect any titles you may have missed!
And now…back to the Italian sweets. For starters, I made two different types of cookies: pine nut and florentines. If you’ve never had florentines, they’re a lacy, crispy almond cookie, and you’ll sometimes see them drizzled with chocolate (which you could certainly do with your mini versions as well).
Next, I made a cup of yummy affogato, and my version has a scoop of white chocolate gelato with a shot of espresso poured on top.
Then, we have spumoni sundaes with marashino cherries. I even show you how to make the cherry juice puddled around the cherry and dripping down the dollop of whipped cream. Mmm…
And finally, no Italian cookbook would be complete without tiramisu. Here’s a nice, luscious slice dusted with cocoa and drenched in coffee liqueur. Yes, please.
