Here at Zeppoli's, we take pride in offering authentic and homemade desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth everytime!
All of our desserts are made in-house, ensuring that each bite is a burst of flavors. We use high-quality ingredients, carefully crafted to bring you the authentic taste of Italy. We have been known to make cakes, cheesecakes, pies, ice cream and other special desserts as well, but here is a breakdown of desserts we almost always have!
Tiramisu
Tiramisu gets its name from the Italian words 'pick me up,' referring to the espresso used in the recipe. Dive into the fine flavors of our Tiramisu, where layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and sweet mascarpone create the perfect taste and texture. This pick me up dish is sure to leave you feeling happy and ready to take on the day!
Try it with Moscato! The sweet and sparkling flavors of the wine compliment the creamy texture and coffee flavors beautifully!
Cannoli
This true Italian dessert originated on the Italian island of Sicily, particularly in the regions of Palermo and Messina. And if you're a fan of crunch and creamy filling, our Cannolis are a must-try – each one filled with our homemade cannoli vanilla filling and finished off with chocolate mini–chips. This classic dessert is perfect for that true Italian feel, that all ages are sure to love.
Try it with Prosecco, as the light and bubbly character provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the cannoli!
Chocolate Mousse
For the lovers of chocolate, our Chocolate Mousse is a perfect choice. In the dish, you’ll taste its smooth, milk chocolate flavor. This dessert is sure to satiate any sugar and chocolate cravings. Fun fact: Chocolate Mousse originated in France, where it was originally called "mayonnaise au chocolat." Don’t worry, we promise our chocolate mousse tastes way better than chocolate mayonnaise!
Pair this chocolatey dessert with Merlot! The red fruit flavors can provide a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the mousse!
Crème Brûlée
For those who appreciate the crisp caramelized sugar layer over a flavorful custard, our Crème Brûlée is an elegant choice to round off your dining experience. This dessert is fit for royalty! The initial documented recipe for crème brûlée appeared in the 1691 edition of the French cookbook "Le Cuisinier Royal et Bourgeois" by Francois Massialot, who served as a cook at the Palace of Versailles.
Crème brûlée pairs wonderfully with Port wines! Try this decadent dish with either a Tawny Port or Ruby Port, both offering sweetness to enhance the caramelized sugar and vanilla flavors.
