Based on the Italian pastry I grew up with, this sweet and creamy dip is perfect for a dessert buffet or any time you're craving something sweet. The ingredients are easy to adjust to make a variety of different versions. Try making it into a cherry almond, pistachio or even chocolate flavor! —Debbie Glasscock, Conway, Arkansas
