Tartufo – Vanilla Ice Cream Dome
Tartufo is an Italian ice cream dessert originating from Pizzo, Calabria.
I had my first Tartufo at an Italian wedding and I was hooked!
Some are covered in chocolate, others coated in cocoa.
Tartufo is usually composed of two flavours of ice cream which are sculpted together by hand.
If there is fruit in the middle, the ice cream is scooped out from the middle and the fruit placed inside.
Today I am sharing my Tartufo – Vanilla Ice Cream Dome with you, it has a chocolate coating, vanilla ice cream and a Lindt chocolate ball in the middle!
You do not need to be skilled to make this gorgeous dessert.
If you can pour chocolate and scoop ice cream you already have the skills needed!
