Seeking special Easter dessert ideas this year? You can’t go past chef Dan Pepperell’s hot cross cannoli. The Albertos’ Lounge chef describes it as “what Tony Soprano would eat at Easter time,” and we’re inclined to agree.
For Greek-style Easter dessert recipes, reach for Jonathan Barthelmess‘s strawberry galaktoboureko or the tsoureki (Greek Easter bread); or to celebrate like the Russians do, make the kulich, the traditional Easter bread of Russia. A bit on the nose though it may be, Sixpenny’s carrot cake is an impressive Easter dessert to master. We also have a cheeky chocolate version on the UK’s simnel cake. It’s Easter, after all, so chocolate is a must.
