Two-Tone Ice Cream Truffle: The Gourmet Dessert with TooA Milano Pro
The allure of the Pizzo Truffle meets the innovation of TOOA Milano Pro . If you thought preparing artisanal truffles at home required hours of churning and infinite patience, prepare to think again.
Thanks to TOOA's "espresso" technology, today we transform two simple bricks (Chocolate and Vanilla) into a masterpiece of Calabrian cold pastry, ready to serve to your guests.

The Ingredients
-
1 TooA Brick Chocolate Flavor
-
1 TooA Brick Vanilla Flavor.
-
For the heart: A spoonful of hazelnut spread (optional).
-
For the finish: Bitter cocoa powder to taste
The Procedure
1. Express Mantecazione
The secret of the TOOA Milano Pro is speed. Let's start by preparing the two bases:
-
Place the vanilla ice cream (previously stored at room temperature or according to the instructions) into the machine. Start the cycle and, once ready, transfer the ice cream to a small bowl and place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
-
Repeat the process with the chocolate brick. This too will need a very brief stint in the freezer to become perfectly moldable.
2. Architecture of the Truffle
To get the classic dome shape without making a mess everywhere, we will use the film trick :
-
Place a square of cling film on the palm of your hand.
-
Create a chocolate ice cream disc (this will be our outer shell).
-
In the center, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream .
-
Blog Tip: For a "surprise" effect, make a small hole in the vanilla and insert a heart of melted chocolate or hazelnut spread.
3. Modeling and Rest
Close the edges of the plastic wrap, sealing the ice cream inside, and twist the base to create a perfect sphere. Place the truffles in the freezer for at least 30 minutes . This step is essential for the two flavors to "blend" structurally while remaining distinct when cut.
A few minutes before serving , remove the truffles from the freezer:
-
Carefully remove the film.
-
Roll the sphere in a small dish filled with bitter cocoa . The contrast between the bitterness of the cocoa and the sweetness of the vanilla inside is what makes this dessert legendary.
-
Serve on a dark plate to highlight the cocoa powder and decorate with a dollop of cream or a mint leaf.
Why use TooA Milano Pro for your desserts?
The advantage of the Milano Pro is not only its speed (less than 5 minutes per flavor), but its consistency : the extracted gelato has a micro-structure of very fine ice crystals, which makes the truffle silky on the palate, just like the one from the bar, but with the warmth of your kitchen.
