Tartufo Limone

Tartufo limone, also known as lemon tartufo, is a type of Italian dessert that is named after the Italian word for truffle. It is made by molding a ball of lemon-flavored ice cream around a center of lemon curd or sorbet, and then coating the entire ball in a layer of powdered sugar or white chocolate.

The lemon ice cream used in tartufo limone is typically made from a blend of fresh cream, sugar, and lemon juice or zest, giving it a tangy and refreshing flavor that is both creamy and tart. The center of lemon curd or sorbet adds an extra burst of lemon flavor to the dessert, while the outer layer of powdered sugar or white chocolate provides a sweet and delicate finish.

Tartufo limone is often served as a dessert at the end of a meal, and can be found in many Italian restaurants and gelaterias around the world. It is a delicious and refreshing treat that showcases the bright and zesty flavors of lemon in a creamy and indulgent dessert.
