This is the bocconcino — the original one, the first to be thought out and made. In the 1920s a gelato seller in Castiglioncello urged his donkey Dorotea along the pinewood paths with cries of “dai… dai!”, and the name stuck to his chocolate-coated cream cassatina. Toni Bartoletti revived the recipe in 1984; his children Bernardo, Allegra and Rosa still make every piece by hand in Casale Marittimo — a semifreddo of fresh cream, milk and egg yolk, dipped in Pernigotti dark chocolate and wrapped one by one.

Tasting notes

Coating: A thin shell of Pernigotti dark chocolate that snaps cleanly.
Heart: Fresh Tuscan cream, whipped light with egg yolk — soft and airy, never icy, with a clean dairy sweetness.
Finish: Short and delicate; the chocolate lingers a moment longer than the cream.

How to enjoy

Serve straight from the freezer — a bocconcino needs no plating and no waiting, which is why it belongs in a galley: unwrap, and it is ready. With an espresso at the end of lunch, as a petit four after dinner, or two on a saucer beside a vin santo. On board, a box of 70 covers a week of guest coffees without a single dessert plate.
