Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Let the ice creams stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Line 6 small (about 5-ounce) ramekins or bowls with plastic wrap.
- In a food processor , grind the chocolate wafer cookies. If you don't have a food processor you can place the cookies in a sealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them as fine as possible. Place the crumbs into a medium bowl and set aside.
- Using a spoon scoop some vanilla ice cream into each plastic-lined ramekin about halfway full.
- Place a cherry on top of the ice cream in the center of each scoop.
- Scoop enough pistachio ice cream over the cherry to fill the rest of the ramekin.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cookie crumbs to cover the surface of the pistachio ice cream and pull the edges of the plastic wrap together to close. Freeze for at least 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the magic shell by melting the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl at increments of 45 seconds, giving a little stir between heatings. When it is almost completely melted take it out of the microwave and stir using the residual heat to melt the rest.
- Add the coconut oil and whisk until completely combined and smooth.
- Take the ramekins out of the freezer and unwrap each tartufo, placing them cookie-crumb-side-down on a wire rack over a parchment-lined rimmed sheet tray.
- Pour the magic shell over each dome of ice cream to completely coat. Tap the sheet tray on the counter lightly to shake off any excess chocolate.
- Carefully lift each tartufo off the wire rack using a small offset spatula and gently place them one at a time in the bowl of cookie crumbs. Roll the tartufo to coat, gently pressing the crumbs into the chocolate, if necessary, to make them stick.
- Place them on a plate and freeze for 1 hour before serving. Or wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and store them in a large air-tight container in the freezer until needed.

TARTUFO
Steps:
- Caramel sauce:
- In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup of water.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture turns a deep golden brown. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Tartufo:
- Combine the cookie crumbs and chocolate chunks in a large resealable bag.
- Using a large round ice cream scoop, scoop out a ball of ice cream and leave it in the scoop. Poke a hole in the center of the scoop with a handle of a wooden spoon and put a cherry into the hole. Cover the hole with a bit of ice cream and put the scoop of ice cream into the bag of cookies and chocolate pieces. Shake around pressing gently to completely coat the ice cream. Put the scoop on a tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Repeat the process with remaining ingredients.
- Before serving, divide the caramel sauce among 4 plates. Remove the Tartufos from the freezer and slice them in half. Arrange 2 halves on each plate and garnish with mint sprigs.
TARTUFFO
Steps:
- With a small ice cream scoop, make walnut-sized balls of the chocolate ice cream. Shove a hazelnut into the center of each ball. Freeze. With a larger ice cream scoop, dig out flat globs of vanilla ice cream and pack it around the chocolate ice cream ball, covering completely. Freeze for 30 minutes. Roll in chocolate shavings and keep frozen.
HAZELNUT TARTUFFO
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.

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.

CHOCOLATE-PISTACHIO TARTUFO
Is there anything sweeter than a Valentine's Day treat designed for sharing? This elegant, easier-than-it-looks take on tartufo, the Italian frozen dessert, is made by packing two types of ice cream into a bowl, topping them with a cookie-crumb mixture, then turning the whole thing out and coating it with a chocolate shell. It usually has a maraschino cherry hidden inside -- but ours, of course, has two.

Steps:
- Line a small domed glass bowl (ours was 4 1/2-inch-diameter with a 1 1/3-cup capacity) with plastic wrap, leaving a 4-inch overhang on all sides. Pack 1 ice cream flavor into each side of bowl. Make an indentation in each flavor; place a cherry in each and cover with ice cream. Wrap in plastic and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.
- In a bowl, mix together cookie crumbs and 1 teaspoon oil. Fold back plastic and press crumb mixture onto ice cream; smooth with an offset spatula. Rewrap and freeze at least 15 minutes.
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil.
- Fold back plastic from ice cream. Invert bowl onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet. With a hot cloth, wipe outside of bowl to loosen. Lift bowl and completely remove plastic. Pour chocolate over top, starting in center and working outward, in one stream.
- Freeze tartufo on rack to harden, at least 5 minutes. Serve, or wrap loosely in plastic and keep frozen up to a week. To serve, transfer to a plate with a thin metal spatula (if it sticks, dip spatula in hot water and wipe dry).
ITALIAN TARTUFO
"Tartufo" is Italian for truffle. The original "truffles" were created just after the French revolution by French chefs and were chocolate confections made to resemble like their prized fungi cousin in the Perigord region of France. These sweet confections were given at Christmas time as gifts. Sometime around the Victorian era is when the frozen truffle came about when the idea of molding ice creams into various shape like flowers, fruit, and other foods became popular. It has been only during recent times that ice cream "truffles" or "tartufos" have made a renaissance, of sorts. Typically, in Italy, a tartufo is a vanilla ice cream ball that has a cherry and some nuts in the center. The ball is then dipped in chocolate and can be covered with nuts or chocolate shavings.

IL MULINO'S TARTUFFO
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.

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.
