I can’t call it a recipe the idea of preparing the homemade chocolate-covered ice cream with Pavesini because the ascaretto, that is the classic little dark dessert with cream ice cream and melted chocolate as it’s called in Palermo, is incredibly simple to make, and you can have fun covering it as you like!

Now I’m talking to the moms following me… Does this stick remind you of something? Something that brings us back to when our kids are little and go to the pediatrician…OK OK, I won’t say it, I’ll let you guess! Write to me in the comments (or at my email lisotti1@virgilio.it) if you want to share what else these sticks are used for, and if you live in Bologna, I’ll invite you for a coffee I PROMISE!

Clearly, these penguin chocolate-covered ice creams are the size of cookies, so you need to make plenty for a proper snack, although I must say that between the filling and the coating, they’ve become quite plump!

Tools

For these types of ice creams you need these

WOODEN STICKS

Steps

1) Personally, I took some cream ice cream that I took out of the freezer just 5 minutes before starting the chocolate-covered preparation,
2) then with gloves, I took a small amount of ice cream and made a Pavesini and ice cream sandwich.
3) Clearly everything melts at the speed of light so it is essential to DO IT QUICKLY and protect the table or cutting board with parchment paper, at least that’s what I did!
4) I put the chocolate-covered ice creams with cream like penguin or Palermo ascaretto in the freezer for at least 30 minutes then…
5) I inserted the stick and put everything back in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
6) After the time elapsed, I melted the chocolates, for me dark and white, and then coarsely chopped both the pistachios and hazelnuts.
7) I put the melted chocolates in a glass to be able to dip the cream and chocolate-covered ice creams well and quickly
8) and just as quickly I made small decorations with the chocolate alternating flavors and adding the nut bits I had prepared.
9) Very quickly put everything in the freezer and after a few hours I tasted the homemade chocolate-covered ice cream with Pavesini!
Enjoy your meal!

Annalisa advises …
1) Clearly, we can make these homemade ice creams with Pavesini with all the types of ice cream we prefer, perhaps using also cat tongues, crispy and fragrant cookies. Personally, I wouldn’t use savoiardi otherwise the covered ice cream would become too thick, and you would need Little Red Riding Hood’s wolf mouth to eat it, or rather devour it, ha ha!
