Tartufo (Italian Dessert)


         My first try at making this simple Italian frozen dessert, which is very easy to prepare. You just need 2-3 different flavoured ice cream that are then layered in a silicone mould, frozen and coated with cocoa powder. But here I garnished it with powdered oreo biscuit, few chopped pistachios, almonds and cherry. 

          It is just perfect for any in house dinner party, kitty party or kids birthday party, where you can experiment with different flavours of ice cream. So do give it a try and enjoy this chilled delicacy with your loved ones. 





  • 3 small packs each of strawberry, mango and chocolate flavoured ice creams
  • 1-2 tbsp. powdered oreo biscuit
  • 1 tbsp. each of chopped pistachios, almonds and cherries to garnish





           Fill a silicone mould / any disposable bowl / cup with mango flavoured ice cream. Make a hole in the centre with a spoon and fill some chocolate ice cream in it.

          Again make a hole in the centre and fill it up with some strawberry ice cream. Cover the bowl with mango ice cream and freeze to set. 

          While serving, demould the tartufo and sprinkle the powdered oreo biscuit over it. Serve, garnished with chopped pista, almonds and cherry.

Mango Panna Cotta (Italian Dessert - Fusion Style)


          This is an extremely easy and an awesome Italian dessert with an Indian flavour. I have added cardamom powder and some saffron strands instead of vanilla that is generally used. I thought of making a good use of this mango season so went ahead and tried this recipe. Made with mango puree, milk, cream and gelatin, it can be had as an after meal dessert too. But be sure to have them chilled. So check out the step by step method with pictures to prepare this delicacy.








  • 1 & 1/2 cups mango puree
  • 2 tbsp. gelatin
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 & 1/2 cups milk
  • 3-4 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder (reserve some to garnish)
  • 1 cup fresh cream
  • few mango pieces to garnish
  • mint sprigs to garnish
  • few saffron strands to garnish








          Dissolve 1 tbsp. gelatin in 1 cup lukewarm water for 10-12 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. sugar to the puree (depending on the sweetness of the mango). Mix well. 

          Add the dissolved gelatin to the mango puree and give it a stir. Pour into individual glasses, that are kept at an angle and half fill the glass. Chill till it is set.

          Meanwhile, mix the remaining gelatin in the milk and set aside for 10-12 minutes. Bring the milk to a boil and add the sugar and cardamom powder. 

          Stir till it dissolves and set aside till it comes to room temperature. Mix the cream in it and combine well.

          Fill the glasses with the milk and again chill for 2-3 hours or till it completely sets. Garnish with chopped mango cubes, mint sprig, saffron strands and a sprinkle of some cardamom powder.
