- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze till hard, about 2 hrs.
- Put the chocolate in a small stainless steel bowl over a pan of warm water on low heat.
- Heat till melted but not warm.
- Stir.
- Let chocolate cold slightly so it is hot and not warm because if the chocolate is too warm, it will heat the pistachio ice cream.
- With a fork (or possibly 2 forks) dip each pistachio ice cream ball in the chocolate to cover.
- Place coated ice cream balls on wire rack.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 c. minced pistachios.
- Freeze again till hard, at least 1 hour.
- Remove from freezer 10 min before serving.

- Reduce slightly till thickened to a sauce consistency, about 10 min.
- Cold slightly and serve the sauce hot with the Pistachio Chocolate Tartufo.
- The melted chocolate hardens into a crunchy, heat-in-your-mouth shell on the tartufo balls - the perfect contrast to the creamy ice cream.
- Yield is 6 servings.
