Homemade Viennetta, ice cream cake recipe with cream, chocolate, and lots of hazelnut granules. An ideal summer preparation includes milk-based ice creams, or granitas with sorbets which are water-based, thus lighter and especially prepared at home usually without the help of an ice cream maker. Certainly, fruit-based ice creams are the most appreciated and fresh, as well as lighter, for those like me who always keep an eye on calories, which are very important for enjoying ice cream without guilt! However, today my ice cream resembles Viennetta, with cream and chocolate, and the fantastic thing is that no ice cream maker is needed. There is always time for granitas and sorbets.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
