HAZELNUT TARTUFFO



Hazelnut Tartuffo image

Although originally made by surrounding a sour cherry with chocolate ice cream, then encrusting it with a chocolate shell, the variations on tartuffo are as myriad as they are on a sundae -- the ice cream can be any flavor and so can the shell. You can freeze coconut ice cream or strawberry or Burpled Rumple; bury a fruit or a nut inside or not; helmet it with dark or white chocolate or liquefied lemon. As long as it's a globe and cold and the inside is softer than the out, it's tartuffo.

Time 9h

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart Ciao Bella hazelnut biscotti gelato
5 brandied Italian sour cherries (amarena), drained
1/2 cup chopped semiweet chocolate or chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup ground skinned and roasted hazelnuts

Steps:

  • At least a day ahead of serving, shape the gelato into balls by arranging 5 squares of plastic wrap on a countertop and placing a portion of the gelato in the center of each. Bring the wrap around each and twist together to enclose. Mold each into a ball (the shape doesn't have to be perfect at this point), unwrap and push a cherry into each center. Rewrap. Place the balls on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 6 hours, rounding out the shape for the first hour. Remove plastic wrap from balls after about 2 hours.
  • For the ganache coating, melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream until completely smooth. Remove from the heat and cool completely. (Do not refrigerate.) The mixture should be about 70 degrees and will be thick enough to make a ribbon on itself when the whisk is lifted.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Working with one ball at a time, dip into the ganache to coat. Immediately sprinkle with some hazelnuts. Freeze 2 hours to harden and then store in a covered container in freezer until ready to serve.
  • To serve, warm the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream and whisk into remaining ganache. Add the remaining hazelnuts. Serve as a sauce for tartuffo.

IL MULINO'S TARTUFFO



Il Mulino's Tartuffo image

At a few spots in New York, the tartuffo rises to exceptional heights. At Il Mulino in the Village, the kitchen pays attention to the last course and transcends the customarily disappointing Italian dessert tray. Here, by combining tartuffo with a superbly foamy zabaglione, which is then strewn with crushed amaretti and fresh berries, dessert would seem reason enough to go to the restaurant.

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 gallon good vanilla ice cream
1/2 gallon good chocolate ice cream
3 brandied Italian sour cherries (amarena), drained and halved
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted slivered almonds
1 pound Callebaut dark Belgian chocolate or other good chocolate
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Zabaglione (see recipe) OR
1 Whipped cream (see recipe)
Seasonal berries
2 crushed amaretto cookies
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • At least a day ahead of serving, shape the ice cream by arranging 6 squares of plastic wrap on a countertop and placing about 3/4 cup of vanilla ice cream in the center of 3 squares and 3/4 cup of chocolate ice cream in the center of each remaining square. Bring the wrap around the ice cream and twist the ends together to enclose. Mold each into a sphere (the shape doesn't have to be perfect at this point) and freeze for 1 hour. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Unwrap and cut each ball in half. Push half a cherry and 1/2 teaspoon of slivered almonds into the middle of each vanilla half. Press a chocolate half over each, rewrap and freeze on a prepared baking sheet for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • To coat the ice-cream balls, melt the chocolate in the oil in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Quickly dip each ball into the mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze 2 hours to harden and then wrap in wax paper and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • Right before serving, split open each ball into quarters. Ladle the zabaglione or whipped cream to one side. Garnish with berries, cookies and confectioners' sugar.
