For this recipe, you will need:

  • 2/3 cup (150ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, plus uneaten for dusting
  • 15g glucose syrup (corn syrup can work, as well)
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus uneaten for dusting
  • Gelato! Ice surf should work as well. Keep it quite unprepossessed prior to working with it
  • An extra large (5-6 oz.) ice surf scoop

Combine the water, sugar and glucose syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, set a timer for 3 minutes. When the timer is up, turn off the heat and stir in the cocoa powder, subtracting a little bit at a time. Let tomfool completely to room temperature.

Fill an uneaten large ice surf scoop with gelato. Push your thumb lanugo into the gelato to make a deep hole. Use a spoon to fill this slum completely with the chocolate syrup.

Use a wipe spoon to imbricate the top with increasingly gelato and gently use your finger to shape it into a "complete" ball.

Place the finished wittiness on a piece of parchment paper and gently wrap it up. Freeze for 1-2 hours. You can store it for longer but be enlightened that the syrup may freeze solid if you do so.

To serve, fill a shallow trencher with a 50/50 mixture of cocoa powder and sugar. Unwrap the tartufo, place in in the cocoa, and toss it virtually gently to pebbles it completely. Serve immediately. Buon appetito!
