Giada's Favorite Italian Desserts
Pasta and pizza might be in the limelight when it comes to Italian cuisine, but Giada’s favorite Italian Desserts are all about the sweet side of Italy.
In Italy, the desserts vary vastly from region to region – but they’re all delicious. From classics like the torta caprese or ciambella to Giada’s fresh takes on traditional sweets (looking at you, Mascarpone Cannoli Cheesecake and Italian Cinnamon Rolls!), there is something on this list for everyone – whether it’s for an occasion, or a simple weekend baking project!
