Light and fluffy blueberry muffins with a lemon sugar crust topping

LIGHT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH LEMON SUGAR CRUST

I know there are many blueberry muffins recipes out there.  A couple of years ago I was looking for one, but I did not find exactly what I was looking for.  So I came up with this one that is really a mix of 2 or 3 recipes.  I tried to look them up on…

QUICK COCONUT CREME BRULEE – CREME BRULEE VELOCE AL COCCO

I love all sweets with a sugar crusty top… whenever I am in Spain, I always go for a Crema Catalana and in France I must eat Crème Brulée at least once!  This is my version of a very quick crème brulée-style dessert.  It is one of those dishes that I came up with not…

LIGHT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH ORANGE LIQUEUR – MOUSSE DI CIOCCOLATO “LIGHT” AL LIQUORE D’ARANCIA

I love everything chocolate… and what’s better than a chocolate mousse to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the one you love?  This is a lighter version than the traditional chocolate mousse because it does not require cream: I just use egg whites to make it fluffy.  I usually make this mousse with rum, but this time…

CANDIED ORANGE ZESTS – SCORZETTE D’ARANCIA CANDITE

This is a typical Italian winter sweet and is often (but not only) used as a decoration for other desserts or served at the end of a meal with some coffee.  My mom used to make lots of them for Christmas because that is the time of the year when oranges are at their best. …

“CAT’S TONGUES” BISCUITS – LINGUE DI GATTO

These biscuits are a classic of Italian cuisine.  Every pastry shop sells them and they are very often served with ice cream.  Their name literally means “cat’s tongues” as their shape and size resemble a cat’s tongue.  I simply love them… they are thin and crispy and the aroma that they create while baking takes…

Baileys Ice Cream

BAILEYS ICE CREAM – GELATO AL BAILEYS

A couple of days ago, my dear friend Nat asked me to publish this very recipe.  I had actually thought of posting the recipe of another sweet for Valentine’s Day, but this request gave me an idea.  Why not publish both recipes?  In the southern hemisphere it is still very hot, so ice cream is…

ALMOND COOKIES – DOLCETTI DI MANDORLE

This is a recipe of traditional Sicilian sweets. Sicily is renowned for its citrus fruits, its pistachio nuts and almonds. All these products make fantastic ingredients for sweets. Whenever I go to Sicily, the little mountain top medieval town of Erice (Wiki) is my favourite spot to enjoy almond based sweets. This is a very…

YOGURT CAKE – TORTA ALLO YOGURT

This is another one of my favourite cakes.  It is as light as a sponge cake and it is perfect to have with tea or coffee.  It is quite healthy as it is made with yogurt and uses oil instead of sugar, so it is a good snack for adults and children!  As measuring unit,…

ALMOND PARFAIT – PARFAIT DI MANDORLE

This is a typical Sicilian “semifreddo”, a semi-frozen dessert.  It is usually served with a hot dark chocolate sauce and the contrast between hot and cold, sweet and bitter are DIVINE!

SCHIUMINI MERINGUES – SCHIUMINI

I usually make this biscuits whenever I have some egg white left over… 🙂

APPLE TART – CROSTATA DI MELE

This is the first cake that I have ever baked as a child! I used to LOVE it and I have to say it is still one of my all time favourite! It is very easy to make and looks really pretty… so, what are you waiting for??? Just try it!!!

Sicilian Cannoli

SICILIAN CANNOLI – CANNOLI SICILIANI

This is the recipe of cannoli (well, my family’s recipe!). It’s a traditional dish from Sicily and it requires very specific ingredients that are sometimes hard to find abroad… there are many Sicilian migrants here, so l am lucky enough to find almost anything. If you can’t find ricotta cheese, you can try and substitute…

LADY’S KISSES – BACI DI DAMA

I thought I’d start this blog by posting the recipe of my all time favourite cookies.  Their name means “lady’s kisses” because their shape resembles a kiss.  They are originally from Turin, in the Piedmont region of Italy.  They are not a family recipe, but these cookies bring back lots of happy childhood memories.  They…
