Cooking Tips

• You can use store-bought pistachio ice cream or make your own using a pistachio ice cream recipe.
• Make sure the pistachio ice cream balls are frozen solid before dipping them in the melted chocolate to prevent them from melting too quickly.
• If you don't have crushed pistachios, you can also use crushed chocolate cookies or cocoa powder as a coating.

Storage and Serving

• The chocolate-pistachio tartufo can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
• To serve, let the tartufo sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.
