Tartufo is an ice cream dessert found in Italian-American restaurants. Traditionally it is a scoop of vanilla ice cream with maraschino cherries on the inside and a hard chocolate shell on the outside. This recipe is the popsicle version.Vanilla Base:
8 oz vanilla pudding
1/2 cup of water
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
Whisk together the vanilla base ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Cut maraschino cherries into quarters to place inside popsicle mold.
You can place a sliced cherry on top. We used a strawberry instead since we ran out of cherries.
This was dessert for Valentine's Day dinner and it was a hit. It was Matthew and Tom's first Popsicle tasting!
