tartufo

Chocolate ice cream bomb

Tartufo is an Italian chocolate dessert—a sphere of ice cream (often two flavors) coated in cocoa powder or chocolate, typically with a cherry or chocolate center.

Named after the truffle it resembles.

Also the Italian word for truffle itself, both the fungus and the chocolate confection.

We split a tartufo after dinner.
