From Italy to France, Greece and many more countries, these desserts qualify for a united nations record for all those passionate about yummy and delightful treats.
Most of these can be made quickly but to truly taste the difference, spend a little more time in the planning and preparations and you will be pleasantly thrilled you did. The only problem you’ll have is which one to make next!
01 Italian Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of the most famous Italian desserts that you will find in almost every Italian restaurant that serves desserts. It is very light and delicious no-bake dessert combining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and smooth mascarpone cream. The espresso is usually mixed with a little dark rum which you can forget about if you do not wish to have any alcohol, only it will only add a little hint for flavour if you include it in the recipe.
02 French Profiteroles
These easy classic French profiteroles are made with choux pastry. They are delicious, very light, filled with vanilla pastry cream and finished with a chocolate glaze. You can have these with cream or ice cream.
03 Greek Baklava
This delightful and very delicious classic dessert is famous in every middle eastern country as well as some Mediterranean countries and is certainly a Greek favourite. It is made with layers and layers of flaky phyllo pastry and melted butter, walnuts and pistachios drizzled with honey, this is extremely yummy and comes with “be warned, very addictive health warning”. ????
04 Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are simply irresistible, soft and chewy with crunchy, semi sweet chocolate bits. Chocolate chip cookies are without a doubt one of my favourite desserts. These can be eaten warm or cool, they taste delicious either way, only when warm the chocolate will be melted which the young ones (and some adults too) pick with their fingers and lick it like a sauce.
05 Chocolate Cheesecake
This delicious chocolate cheesecake is another no-bake dessert that you can easily make at home within a couple of hours and it will be the star of the show at meal time especially if you have young ones and chocolate lovers in the family.
06 Créme Brulée
Another French classic that I could eat every day, this is a special dessert that you can make a head and one to impress everyone you invite to dinner with. A smooth and creamy vanilla custard topped with a layer of brittle caramel brings any dinner to a very delicious conclusion.
07 Caramel Tarts
This dessert is very impressive and is made of three parts which can be made separately before assembling. On the outside you have the chocolate crust, the centre is filled with caramel and the top is covered with chocolate ganache. Very delicious dessert and looks very inviting. I’m sure you’ll agree if you give it a try. With double chocolate and caramel filling, one way to describe this dessert is wicked.
08 Banoffee Cups
These individual portions of the classic banoffee pie dessert are easy to prepare but saves you time when it comes to serving because they are individual portions. They are adorable little banoffee cups with layers of whipped cream, homemade toffee, sliced bananas and buttery biscuit crumbs topped with chocolate shavings. One of the best things about making these is you can add the individual ingredients in any manner you like and also make them different if you wish, unlike the pie where all slices are the same.
09 Caramel Flan
Here is another delicious creamy dessert with a super rich caramel cream cheese. It’s yummy and has a very smooth tasty texture that almost melts in your mouth. It’s worth all the time and effort you spend making it.
