Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup crushed chocolate cookies
1/2 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 pint vanilla ice cream
4 brandied or maraschino cherries
4 sprigs mint

Steps:

  • Caramel sauce:

  • 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.

My variation on a delicious dessert we experienced in Rome this spring. Called tartufo because it resembles a truffle.

Provided by Katie Poppy

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time P1DT4h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
⅓ cup white sugar
4 egg yolks
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ounces fine quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
8 maraschino cherries
½ cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

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.

ITALIAN TARTUFO



Italian Tartufo image

"Tartufo" is Italian for truffle. The original "truffles" were created just after the French revolution by French chefs and were chocolate confections made to resemble like their prized fungi cousin in the Perigord region of France. These sweet confections were given at Christmas time as gifts. Sometime around the Victorian era is when the frozen truffle came about when the idea of molding ice creams into various shape like flowers, fruit, and other foods became popular. It has been only during recent times that ice cream "truffles" or "tartufos" have made a renaissance, of sorts. Typically, in Italy, a tartufo is a vanilla ice cream ball that has a cherry and some nuts in the center. The ball is then dipped in chocolate and can be covered with nuts or chocolate shavings.

Mocha Tartlets image

Categories     Coffee     Liqueur     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Cocktail Party     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 24 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 17

For mocha custard
2 large egg yolks
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup whole milk
2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon Tía Maria or other coffee liqueur
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon instant-espresso powder
For butter cookie dough
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Special equipment: 24 small (2 7/8- to 1 1/2-inch) sandbakkel or petit four molds; a pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch star tip (optional)

Steps:

  • Make custard:
  • Beat together yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 1 minute. Heat milk in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not boiling. Add one third of hot milk to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Pour remainder of milk into yolk mixture, whisking, then transfer to saucepan. Simmer, whisking constantly, until very thick, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate, liqueur, butter, and espresso powder. Let stand until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Force custard through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover surface of custard with wax paper and chill until cold, at least 4 hours.
  • Make tartlet shells while custard chills:
  • Pulse together flour, sugar, salt, butter, egg, and vanilla in a food processor until dough is smooth and begins to form a ball (it will be soft, like cookie dough). Turn out dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and gather into a ball. Flatten dough into a disk and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours (overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Break off 1-teaspoon pieces of dough and press evenly into molds with floured fingers to form shells about 1/16 inch thick, pinching off excess from rim and making bottoms slightly thinner than sides. Arrange molds 1 inch apart in a shallow baking pan and chill until dough is firm again, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake in middle of oven, rotating pan halfway through baking, until pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes total. Transfer molds to a rack to cool, then carefully remove shells from molds. Make more tartlet shells in same manner if desired.
  • Assemble tartlets:
  • Fill pastry bag with custard and pipe decoratively into shells.
