Sweet Italian baking recipes

Give your bakes a continental spin with these sweet Italian baking recipes. Many Italian regions have a rich baking heritage, and our collection includes iconic dishes from across the country.

Take a trip to Rome with a batch of maritozzi buns, cloud-like sweet buns filled with whipped cream, or try Sicily’s beloved cannoli. Our step-by-step recipe will help you master their distinctive crispy shell and creamy filling.

Looking for a simple but stunning dessert? Try torta barozzi, a rich flourless chocolate cake from Northern Italy. Got time to linger in the kitchen? A lemony torta del nonna or seriously indulgent mocha tiramisu torte is just the ticket.

Italian biscuits make perfect food gifts or treats to share over coffee with friends. Check out our recipes for biscotti, florentines and cantucci below. Once you’ve had your sweet fix, take a look at our savoury Italian baking collection, too. Buon appetito!
