Tartufo dessert is made with layers of ice cream, chocolate, cherries and cookie crumbs with a chocolate shell finish.

High-quality ingredients make the tartufo taste better!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cherries:<\/strong> Amarena cherries and maraschino cherries <em>can<\/em> be used interchangeably here, but we highly recommend trying to find Amarena cherries. They\u2019re made with better-quality ingredients, creating luxurious and rich cherries that make this tartufo dessert feel expensive and indulgent.

We want it room temperature or cold to make chocolate tartufo. Otherwise, it would melt the ice cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cookies:<\/strong> Crush up 12 amaretti cookies in a food processor. Alternatively, you can put them in a resealable bag and whack them into crumbs with a rolling pin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings:<\/strong> After the tartufo dessert is assembled and frozen overnight, it&#8217;s time to layer on the toppings. You can choose any toppings you like, but I love a chocolate coating made with dark chocolate chips and coconut oil, plus a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Press the ice cream into a bowl<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2062363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tartufo-Ice-Cream_FT24_277791_EC_1002_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Glass bowl with storage wrap\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ELLIE CROWLEY FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Line a 5-inch glass bowl with plastic wrap.

Just make sure the flavors match the other ingredients (unless you want to change those, too). Pistachio, strawberry, cookie dough, coffee, hazelnut and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-pumpkin-ice-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-pumpkin-ice-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pumpkin ice cream<\/a> would all work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap in another sauce:<\/strong> Instead of the hot fudge topping, try pistachio butter, Nutella, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dulce-de-leche-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dulce-de-leche-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">dulce de leche<\/a> or salted caramel sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replace the cherries:<\/strong> You can easily swap out the Amarena cherries for other fruits (or nuts!) if you\u2019re not a cherry fan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get creative with the tartufo coating:<\/strong> Instead of a chocolate shell, coat the outside of the tartufo with crushed cookies, chopped nuts or cocoa powder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Tartufo Ice Cream<\/h2>\n<p>If you have tartufo leftovers, place a piece of storage wrap directly against any cut sides so the filling doesn\u2019t get freezer burn. Then, wrap the entire tartufo in storage wrap and place it in the freezer. It can be frozen for up to one week.<\/p>\n<h3>Can tartufo ice cream be made ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can definitely make tartufo ice cream ahead of time. In fact, this recipe for tartufo requires it! You\u2019ll need to build the tartufo dessert the night before (or at least eight hours ahead) so the inside layers can set and freeze. After it\u2019s set, you can pour the chocolate sauce over the tartufo several hours before your guests arrive. Keep it in the freezer until you\u2019re ready to serve it. Remove the tartufo from the freezer only a few minutes before serving so it\u2019s easier to cut.<\/p>\n<h2>Tartufo Ice Cream Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2062374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tartufo-Ice-Cream_FT24_277791_EC_1002_14.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tartufo Ice Cream served on a white plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ELLIE CROWLEY FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make individual tartufo servings?<\/h3>\n<p>You absolutely can make individual servings instead of one big tartufo. Use small ramekins and line each one with plastic wrap, allowing about 3 inches of overhang. Follow the recipe for one big tartufo, dividing the ingredients evenly among the ramekins. Cover the tops with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. Remove the tartufos from the ramekins as directed and cover each one with melted chocolate and crushed hazelnuts.<\/p>\n<h3>How should you serve tartufo ice cream?<\/h3>\n<p>Tartufo ice cream is the perfect end to a dinner party.
