Tortoni is a frozen Italian “ice cream” like dessert usually flavored with almonds. It was a dessert originally created by Giuseppe Tortoni.  He was Neopolitan and owned a place in Paris named Cafe Tortoni where he served these delicious treats. This dessert actually made its way to the US in the mid 19th Century and was sold as street food.   For me Tortoni is something I ate as a kid all the time. It was a dessert that I always looked forward to having at our weekly family dinner nights at Gargiulo’s restaurant in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Their Tortoni is legendary. This recipe is so easy.  They are a great dessert for Easter.  Very kid friendly too and you can make them in advance. Ingredients below and full recipe on my website.
