Italian Summer Desserts
What could be better than a cool Italian dessert on a hot summer day.  Join Chef Diane Manteca and learn to make these great desserts to enjoy after a great dinner, or just with some chilled cappuccino.  In this Zoom class, we will be making Limoncello Tiramisu, Fresh Fruit Crostata, Cannoli Parfaits with our own homemade cannoli shells, and Almond Infused Cherry Gelato.  Make one of these desserts during class or try all of them!

This is a virtual class.  Registrants can observe Chef Diane as she prepares the outlined dishes, or you are welcome to cook along!  A supply list of materials needed to cook along with Diane will be provided prior to class.
