Easy Tartufo Recipes

CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA TARTUFO RECIPE.

Steps:

• Set the So Delicious Frozen Desserts out to soften (not too melty, just soft enough so you can scoop and shape them easily).
• Place the cookies in a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed. Pour these into a shallow bowl.
• To assemble the tartufos: Take 1/3 cup of the vanilla flavor and place it on a piece of waxed paper. Divide it in half and place one cherry in the middle, then press the frozen dessert around the cherry. Wrap it in waxed paper, twisting the paper at the top, making sure the frozen dessert forms a ball.
• Take a clean piece of waxed paper and place the vanilla ball on it. Scoop out 3/4 cup of the chocolate frozen dessert and mold it around the vanilla ball. I found it was easiest to use an ice cream scoop to scoop out smallish scoops, then I used my hands and the waxed paper to form a layer around the vanilla center.
• Wrap the ball up in waxed paper, and use the paper and your hands to form a ball.
• Repeat these steps with the rest of the ingredients to make two tartufos.
• Place the waxed paper wrapped tartufos in the freezer to solidify for about 30 minutes.
• Place two clean sheets of waxed paper near the cookie crumbs. Remove the tartufos from the freezer, and unwrap one, placing it in the cookie crumbs. Roll it around to completely coat it, then place it on a clean sheet of waxed paper, wrap it up and place it in the freezer again. Repeat with the other tartufo.
• Freeze until very firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the waxed paper, serve, and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT TARTUFO

Steps:

• Combine milk, cream, and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 to 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar until the egg yolks are light in color, about 4 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the egg yolks, then pour all of the egg mixture into the saucepan, stirring continuously. Cook, stirring continuously, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Add the chocolate hazelnut spread, espresso powder, and vanilla, stirring until well combined. Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Refrigerate several hours until cold.
• Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer gelato into an airtight container and place in freezer until solid.
• To make the tartufo: Scoop 4-ounce portions of gelato and form into balls using your hands. Poke a hole in each ball and place 1 cherry in each, cover with gelato, and place on a baking sheet. Roll gelato balls in the grated chocolate until coated and return to the freezer until ready to serve. Serve with whipped topping, if desired.

TARTUFO (ITALIAN ICE CREAM) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Let the ice creams stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Line 6 small (about 5-ounce) ramekins or bowls with plastic wrap.
• In a food processor , grind the chocolate wafer cookies. If you don't have a food processor you can place the cookies in a sealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them as fine as possible. Place the crumbs into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Using a spoon scoop some vanilla ice cream into each plastic-lined ramekin about halfway full.
• Place a cherry on top of the ice cream in the center of each scoop.
• Scoop enough pistachio ice cream over the cherry to fill the rest of the ramekin.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cookie crumbs to cover the surface of the pistachio ice cream and pull the edges of the plastic wrap together to close. Freeze for at least 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the magic shell by melting the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl at increments of 45 seconds, giving a little stir between heatings. When it is almost completely melted take it out of the microwave and stir using the residual heat to melt the rest.
• Add the coconut oil and whisk until completely combined and smooth.
• Take the ramekins out of the freezer and unwrap each tartufo, placing them cookie-crumb-side-down on a wire rack over a parchment-lined rimmed sheet tray.
• Pour the magic shell over each dome of ice cream to completely coat. Tap the sheet tray on the counter lightly to shake off any excess chocolate.
• Carefully lift each tartufo off the wire rack using a small offset spatula and gently place them one at a time in the bowl of cookie crumbs. Roll the tartufo to coat, gently pressing the crumbs into the chocolate, if necessary, to make them stick.
• Place them on a plate and freeze for 1 hour before serving. Or wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and store them in a large air-tight container in the freezer until needed.

TARTUFFO

Steps:

• With a small ice cream scoop, make walnut-sized balls of the chocolate ice cream. Shove a hazelnut into the center of each ball. Freeze. With a larger ice cream scoop, dig out flat globs of vanilla ice cream and pack it around the chocolate ice cream ball, covering completely. Freeze for 30 minutes. Roll in chocolate shavings and keep frozen.

TARTUFO

Steps:

• Caramel sauce:
• In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup of water.
• Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture turns a deep golden brown. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Tartufo:
• Combine the cookie crumbs and chocolate chunks in a large resealable bag.
• Using a large round ice cream scoop, scoop out a ball of ice cream and leave it in the scoop. Poke a hole in the center of the scoop with a handle of a wooden spoon and put a cherry into the hole. Cover the hole with a bit of ice cream and put the scoop of ice cream into the bag of cookies and chocolate pieces. Shake around pressing gently to completely coat the ice cream. Put the scoop on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Repeat the process with remaining ingredients.
• Before serving, divide the caramel sauce among 4 plates. Remove the Tartufos from the freezer and slice them in half. Arrange 2 halves on each plate and garnish with mint sprigs.

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY ICE CREAM TARTUFO

Steps:

• Line 9 x 5 x 2 1/2-inch metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving 3-inch overhang on all sides. Using small flexible spatula, quickly spread softened cherry vanilla ice cream evenly over bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped almonds, then maraschino cherries over ice cream in bottom of pan. Spread softened chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream over, filling pan completely. Freeze until ice cream is firm, about 1 hour.
• Bring 1 1/2 cups cream and corn syrup to simmer in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add both chocolates and whisk until smooth. Whisk in both extracts. Cool ganache to room temperature, whisking occasionally, about 45 minutes.
• Spread 2/3 cup chocolate ganache over top of ice cream. Freeze until chocolate is very firm, about 2 hours.
• Rewarm chocolate ganache over low heat just until fluid if necessary. Cool to room temperature (mixture will thicken slightly). Line baking sheet with waxed paper. Run small knife around sides of loaf pan to loosen ice cream loaf. Invert loaf onto prepared sheet; peel off plastic wrap. Working quickly and using small flexible spatula, spread 1 cup chocolate ganache over top and sides of ice cream loaf, covering ice cream completely and forming 1/4-inch-thick coating (reserve remaining ganache). Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup chopped almonds over top and sides of chocolate-covered ice cream loaf. Freeze until chocolate is firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover tartufo with plastic wrap and keep frozen. Refrigerate remaining ganache.)
• Add remaining 1/4 cup cream to ganache and rewarm over low heat to use as sauce. Cut tartufo into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice diagonally in half, forming 2 triangles. Place 2 triangles on each plate. Drizzle with warm ganache
