  7. Once set pull out the truffle filling and put about a teaspoon of truffle filling in each slot (or more if you like).
  8. Put back in the freezer until the truffle layer is set. It should only take about 5-10 minutes.
  9. Lastly, top it off with more chocolate sauce and let it finish setting in the freezer.
