The easy Italian almond tortoni dessert I am about to share with you is from my Nonna's recipe book and kitchen.  We make this recipe for the Christmas holidays, Easter, and a few other special occasions. This is a semifreddo dessert, roughly defining this: the tortoni almond cups are more mousse-like, not as hard as ice cream, and require sitting out about 15 minutes before serving, and it won't melt.

Tortoni cups are an Italian light ice cream with delectable flavors of vanilla and almond. Still, Italian tortoni is not solid like ice cream, nor is it gelato, so you will find this holiday Italian dessert to be different from anything else you are offering. Zia Lucia will probably claim a "cheat day" just to gobble one up! 

It's also worth noting that this almond custard-like Italian semifreddo dessert has a meringue whipped into the base ingredients.
