Easy and fast star anise-scented pineapple granita

Personally I was never a big fun of the classic ice creams, believe it or not! Not even as a kid! Although, if I was to have one every now and then, that would be a store-bought one and never home made. I always liked them more (weird eh?) But, there is something that I'm a big fan of and this is the granitas! Anything fruity and icy I really love regardless the season but of course during the Summer months just having one is such a relief from the heat, especially when in Greece... This recipe here could not be simpler and faster really and of course you can replace the pineapple with the fruits of your choice. Also, to avoid the hustle of preparing the pineapple, you can find ready-frozen pineapple purée at the shops to make things even easier

Greek yoghurt gelato sandwiches with whole meal petits-beurres biscuits

A very easy recipe to enjoy at home- a delicious gelato based on Greek yoghurt. And this is the only Greek gelato since even the Italians make it using the popular Greek thick yoghurt. Make plenty of these sandwiches because they can be stored in the freezer for many days and they can become a great and healthy refreshing snack for every day for the whole family and an easy treat for your guests

Refreshing melon sorbet scented with vodka and rosewater

Refreshing, fragrant and very tasty sorbet! Admittedly this one is an adult version since vodka is included... Melon is one of the most popular Summer fruits in Greece and here is the main ingredient of this recipe. What makes this classic sorbet special are the vodka and the rosewater which both give an extra aroma and taste

White grapes sorbet

Interesting flavours with this refreshing sorbet using grapes which are at their peak this month. Instead of the muscat sparkling wine you can use a simple sweet one and of course instead of white grapes, rosé or dark can be used. Both substitutions though will give a different taste to the sorbet. It is up to you to choose which one suits you better

Peach ice cream

An ice cream that is really worth the trouble and your time! Refreshing, fragrant and luscious it will be the ideal dessert to end a dinner. You can always substitute the peaches with apricots, nectarines or plums. If there is something I have to point out about this recipe is that, personally, I found the amount of vanilla too much. I felt that it overtook the aroma of the peaches. So, next time I'm planning to omit the vanilla or to use half of it so to balance the flavours better.  But this, of course, is a matter of personal taste, you do as you please

Vanilla ice cream on a bed of crunchy phyllo with nuts

An easy and delicious dessert to enjoy the warm Summer evenings with friends and family. It doesn't take long to put together. Having already in the freezer some homemade or a good quality of store bought vanilla ice cream saves a lot of time. The crunchy phyllo goes so nicely together with the velvety ice cream and everybody will be thrilled!

Strawberry ice cream with Xuxu liqueur

Xuxu, this tasty and fragrant -Germany produced- liqueur is the key ingredient for this classic strawberry ice cream. I had tasted Xuxu only once before and that was many years ago on a trip to Aachen. It didn't cross my mind back then that it could be used in such a recipe until a couple of years ago on our Summer trip to Greece we had this ice cream at a cousin's house and we really loved it! Since then this recipe never let us down
