How to make Italian chocolate tartufo

Chocolate Tartufo (tartufo al cioccolato)  is one of the easiest and most delicious Italian desserts you could make.

It’s usually made from gelato but regular ice cream works just fine.

The best part of this recipe is that you can use any flavor ice cream you desire.

It’s sweet and delicious and should be enjoyed by the whole family.
