Best Italian Desserts

Overview

Milk Street searches Italy for its best desserts. At the birthplace of tiramisù, we learn a six-ingredient recipe that ditches the cooking and dumps most of the sugar. Then, we make a rustic Ricotta and Cherry Jam Tart from Rome. Finally, we visit a biscotti bakery that has been churning out the twice-baked cookies for more than a century, coming back with a recipe for Almond and Citrus Biscotti.
