I Scream
It is too cold outside to have ice cream, well that is my logic in the winter but you can always make exceptions to your own odd rules right?

Tartufo which means 'truffle' in Italian, is one of those exceptions to the rule. This ice cream dessert comes in a ball usually covered in cocoa powder, chocolate shaving or ground nuts.

The insides are usually two types of gelato - this one is chocolate and raspberry served at Terroni's on Queen W. Traditionally it was vanilla and then a whole cherry on the inside but now there are several choices...just like the candy apple variations. See Dorgel's page for some of the other yummy flavours you can buy. When served it is cut into four sections and placed into a little bowl -one is missing in the pic due to hungry wolves who attacked. You can try making them at home in little moulds but it is probably easier to buy them and pass them as your own creations.
