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:
  • 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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tartufo turned out grainy. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These tartufo were the perfect ending to my Italian dinner party. They were light and airy, and the chocolate ganache was to die for.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I loved these tartufo. The hazelnut flavor really shines through.

I had some trouble finding hazelnut liqueur, so I used almond liqueur instead. The tartufo still turned out great!

These tartufo were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The tartufo were amazing! The chocolate was rich and creamy, and the hazelnuts added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.

This tartufo recipe was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of chocolate, hazelnuts, and rum was divine. The tartufo were rich and decadent, and the coating of cocoa powder added a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.
