This Italian ice cream dessert looks as elegant as a restaurant dessert on a plate, but is incredibly simple to make. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is pierced, a maraschino cherry is inserted, and the ice cream is sealed. The scoop is then rolled in crushed chocolate cookies and served on a pool of salted caramel with a mint leaf. The scoop resembles a large chocolate truffle, hence the name "Tartuffo."Italian. truffle). The ice cream should be soft enough to be shaped. For a more impressive look, serve the scoop cut in half. Freeze the dessert thoroughly before serving.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Caramel sauce:

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar with 1/4 cup water.

    Bring to a boil and simmer until the mixture darkens. Remove from heat and whisk vigorously until combined with heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Tartuffe:

    Prepare a sheet of wax paper on which you can easily assemble the dessert.

    Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop up a scoop of ice cream and let it rest in the scoop. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke a hole in the center of the scoop and insert a cherry. Cover the hole with a scoop of ice cream and wrap it in paper, shaping it into a ball. Take a clean sheet of paper, place the scoop on it, then cover it with chocolate ice cream, wrap it in paper, and shape it into a ball. Freeze for 30 minutes.

  3. Combine crushed cookies and chocolate chips in a large zip-lock bag.

    Place a scoop of ice cream in a bag with cookies and chocolate chips. Shake, gently pressing the crumbs into the ice cream until the scoop is completely coated. Place the scoop on a tray and freeze for 1 hour and 30 minutes until completely set. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  4. To serve, pour the caramel sauce onto 4 plates. Remove the tartuffes from the freezer and cut them in half. Place 2 halves on each plate and garnish with mint sprigs.
