Italian cook shares 3 ingredients you need to whip up easy puds on a budget

SHORT of time and money? Then these two easy three-ingredient desserts are just the ticket.

They are just two of the recipes from new book Cook Like A Real Italian by Angelo Coassin (£24, Hardie Grant), which is bursting with budget-friendly dishes – and even a delicious two-ingredient pasta meal!

TikTok star Angelo Coassin – AKA Cooking With Bello – hails from the north-east of Italy and his family has owned a bakery for more than 150 years.

He likes to keep things spicy in the kitchen, so you’ll find lots of “Sexy Tips” to oomph up recipes throughout the book.

My fave is to try using this three-ingredient lemon mousse to decorate cupcakes.

You can also make your own gelato flavour by replacing the dark chocolate in his three-ingredient gelato with some strawberry purée, pistachio cream or lemon juice.

Three-Ingredient Gelato

Serves: 6-8
Prep time: 5 minutes
Freezing time: 2+ hours
Cals: 609
Sat fat: 28g

Ingredients:
*250g dark chocolate, finely chopped
*500ml double cream, very cold from the refrigerator
*350g condensed milk

Method:
1. Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave for three bursts of 30 seconds each, giving it a stir each time to prevent the chocolate from burning. Set aside to cool.

2. Meanwhile, take your double cream out of the refrigerator and pour it into a mixing bowl. Whip with a hand mixer until soft peaks form and it becomes nice and fluffy.

3. Fold the condensed milk and cooled melted chocolate into the cream, and gently mix everything together until smooth. Transfer the chocolate cream to a freezer-proof container and freeze for 2 hours. Then it’s ready for you to enjoy.
