Fruit Ice Cream Tramezzini

Here is the recipe for Fruit Ice Cream Tramezzini, a fresh and delicious recipe for summer or as an alternative sweet snack.

Ingredients

• Crustless bread slices
• Fresh fruit of choice (e.g., strawberries, bananas, kiwis)
• Cream or vanilla ice cream
• Powdered sugar

Preparation

1. Start by slicing the fresh fruit into thin slices.
2. Roll out the bread slices with a rolling pin to make them thinner and easier to roll.
3. Spread a layer of cream or vanilla ice cream on a slice of bread.
4. Add a thin layer of fruit slices over the ice cream.
5. Gently roll up the bread to form a roll, being careful not to let the ice cream spill out the edges.
6. Once rolled, wrap the sandwich in cling film and put it in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
7. When ready to serve, cut the ice cream sandwiches into diagonal sections.
8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

I recommend playing with the combination of fruit and ice cream flavors; for example, you could pair banana with chocolate, or strawberries with fior di latte ice cream. This is a great way to experiment and find your perfect match.

Trivia

Fruit Ice Cream Tramezzini are not a classic of Italian cuisine but represent a very creative and modern variation of the more known Venetian tramezzini, adapted for an audience that loves fresh sweets and quick solutions. Let’s not forget that in Italy even the simple pairing of bread and chocolate, often represented by the famous “tartine” buttered with a generous dose of Nutella, can be considered a simple dessert cherished by both adults and children.
