I love mousse/espresso cakes, tiramisu, panettone (a kinda cake too for Xmas) personally. A friend of mine has an Italian wife (he's Asian and his kids are half-Asian, half-Italian), she's made me some awesome bite-sized Italian desserts for Xmas a long time ago.

Roasted almond and espresso cannoli Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup (40g) whole almonds
1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar, plus extra 11/2 tbs
500g fresh ricotta
1/2 cup (125g) good-quality mascarpone
1 tbs very strong espresso
1 tbs amaretto liqueur (optional)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
12 cannoli shells (from delis and specialty Italian food shops)
METHOD
1.Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with foil.
2.To make praline, place almonds on a second baking tray and roast for 10 minutes or until darkened. Place sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes or until a dark caramel. Add almonds and swirl to coat. Pour onto prepared tray, cool completely, then finely crush.
3.By hand, whisk ricotta, mascarpone, extra sugar, espresso, amaretto, if using, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. When ready to serve, spoon or pipe mixture into cannoli shells and scatter with praline. |

God, These food threads are to much now. When I see something I like that is posted on the thread, I need to try and get it. I use to have a nice figure, the Castle has made me gain 50 LBS with all the food I eat LOL |
