Quick No-Bake Cold Treats. Summer is here and is definitely making its presence felt, along with it comes the desire for freshness and tasty sweets that don’t require hours at the stove. Today I propose a super tasty and quick idea to whip up when you have friends over for dinner and don’t want to spend a long time in preparation in front of the oven and stove. Very few ingredients that you usually have at home and in your pantry, namely some dry biscuits, milk chocolate, a little butter, and cocoa. If you like quick cold desserts also try these Quick Chocolate and Pistachio Pastries. Friends, I assure you that if you make them once, you’ll become absolutely addicted. Enjoy them as an afternoon snack when you’re craving ice cream but don’t have any. For these treats, my advice is to prepare them even a day in advance, so they have time to set, or maybe make a good stock in the freezer, so you’re ready to serve them when needed. Before enjoying them, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes, but not too long.

Below is the recipe

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Francesca, a true native of Taranto. I love cooking desserts and traditional dishes, and my inspiration comes from the women in my family. Photography, for me, is about capturing the moment… in a shot, you hold your breath and then start again, savoring every little detail as you develop it. Why Ethra? She was the wife of Phalanthus, the founder of Taranto, the Spartan city. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all… there are already so many of you following me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
