  • Prep Time 35 minutes
  • Total Time 5 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 3 pints coffee ice cream, slightly softened
    • 54 chocolate-covered espresso beans (about 2 ounces)
    • 1 package (9 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies, crushed (2 3/4 cups )

Directions

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap; place in freezer. Using a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop, make a slightly rounded ball of ice cream. Press your thumb into center to make an indentation, and fill it with 3 chocolate-covered espresso beans. From edges of indentation, spread and press ice cream over to seal; transfer ball to baking sheet in freezer. Repeat to make 18 ice cream balls in all. Freeze until hardened, 2 to 3 hours.
  2. Remove ice cream balls from freezer and allow to soften at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes. (This will help the crushed wafers adhere in next step).
  3. Put crushed wafers in a shallow dish; roll ice cream balls in wafers, and pat to coat. Place tartufo on baking sheet, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
