Ingredients:
• 2 cups of chocolate gelato
• 2 cups of vanilla gelato
• 1 cup of cocoa powder
• 1 cup of chopped hazelnuts
• ½ cup of melted dark chocolate
• ½ cup of melted white chocolate
• ½ cup of chopped almonds
• ½ cup of chopped pistachios
• ½ cup of chopped candied cherries
• ½ cup of chopped candied orange peel
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the gelato
To make the tartufo, you will need two different flavors of gelato. You can either make your own or buy premade gelato from the store. Let the gelato soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 2: Line a bowl with plastic wrap
Grab a medium-sized bowl and line it with plastic wrap, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to remove the tartufo from the bowl once it is set.
Step 3: Layer the gelato
Scoop out the softened chocolate gelato into the lined bowl, spreading it evenly on the bottom. Next, add a layer of vanilla gelato on top of the chocolate. Repeat this process until you have used all the gelato, ending with a layer of chocolate gelato on top.
Step 4: Freeze the tartufo
Place the bowl in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the gelato to set.
Step 5: Prepare the toppings
In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and chopped hazelnuts. In separate bowls, melt the dark and white chocolate. In another bowl, mix together the chopped almonds, pistachios, candied cherries, and candied orange peel.
Step 6: Coat the tartufo
Remove the tartufo from the freezer and carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Peel off the plastic wrap and coat the entire tartufo with the cocoa and hazelnut mixture.
Step 7: Add the toppings
Drizzle the melted dark and white chocolate over the top of the tartufo and sprinkle the chopped nut and fruit mixture on top.
Step 8: Freeze again
Place the tartufo back in the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the toppings to set.
Step 9: Serve and enjoy
Remove the tartufo from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious and authentic Italian dessert with your loved ones.
Now that you know how to make an authentic tartufo, impress your guests with this delicious and decadent dessert. Buon appetito!
