The Gourmet Mama

I’m in dessert mode this week! With my new ice cream machine buzzing away on nearly a daily basis (good thing my in-laws have been gobbling up every recipe I try or there would be a lot of extra pounds floating around here), we’re all about sweet stuff in this house right now. So it made sense to take a look at what tasty sweets are cooking up around the net these days for this recipe roundup.

If you’re looking for Italian desserts, they seem to be pretty darn popular these days. Check out this ever-so-delicious sounding Italian Cheesecake Dessert that involves no less than three mentions of chocolate in the ingredient list. Or, if you’re in the mood for something truly unique, why not go with Cannoli, a traditional Italian dessert? You’ll need cannoli tubes, but I think being able to make these delightful pastries is worth the investment!

A few months back, I posted a recipe for Chocolate Avocado Paté . . . well, here’s a recipe for Healthy Chocolate Pudding with avocado and bananas as the base. Sounds delicious!

Another option for an interesting dessert is this Spiced Pickled Fruit. This isn’t an instant dessert though, you will be putting your canning skills to use for this one.
