Chilled Chocolate Tortoni

FAQ

Tortoni is an Italian ice cream dessert made with heavy cream, chopped cherries, and crushed Amaretti cookies (Italian almond-flavored cookies), and then frozen until set and served in individual paper cups, ramekins, or glass bowls.
The differences between ice cream and tortoni lie in the techniques of their making. Ice cream is made by blending rich materials — cream and sugar and sometimes eggs — and then churning air into the heavy mixture with an ice-cream maker. With tortoni, the technique is deconstructed.
