Tartufo, also known as tartufo di Pizzo, is an Italian dessert of gelato originating in the comune (municipality) of Pizzo, Calabria. The dessert takes the form of a ball that is composed of two or more flavors of gelato, often with melted chocolate inserted into the center or alternatively, with either fruit syrup or frozen fruit—typically raspberry, strawberry or cherry—in the center. Typically, the dessert is covered in a shell made of chocolate or cocoa, but sometimes cinnamon or nuts are used.
