Ashley U's Note:

Tartufo is an Italian word for truffle and these chocolate balls resemble giant ones! Keep plenty on hand in your freezer for an impressive dessert that's ready in minutes.

This were OK but they where lacking something. There needs to be a "surprise' in the middle, I think (perhaps a small ball of raspberry sorbet inside the bigger chocolate ball). Having said that, they are incredibly easy to make.

Outstanding recipe. I made these a week before I was to serve them and everyone loved them. I forgot to buy the raspberries so I used strawberry sauce Strawberry Dessert Sauce instead. This is a great dessert that can be made ahead of time. There are a number of steps in making the dessert, but each one is very simple. I would recommend this to anyone. Thanks for a crowd pleasing recipe.
