Your guests have swooned over your starter and were in raptures over the main – where can you possibly go next? This collection of Michelin star recipes aims to provide inspiration for a showstopping finish to your meal, with dessert ideas from some of Italy's finest chefs.

There are some incredible – albeit challenging – dessert recipes in this collection which tread the line between culinary wizardry and structural masterpieces.
