Talenti sorbetti and gelati are some of the best I have found. The flavors are full and the texture is spot on! Roman Raspberry sorbetto is my most recent favorite for the tartness that I crave on a hot summer’s day. The salty bittersweet bite of the chocolate covered Saltines gives the typical ice cream sandwich cookie come competition. Once a complete chocolate Saltine sandwich is in my hand I like to crush it a bit before diving in to make sure it gets in my mouth before getting all over my lap. The recipe says it serves four but I know I have a hard time just eating one!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different sorbet or ice cream flavor instead of Roman Raspberry?
Absolutely — the article and excerpt both suggest swapping in another fruity sorbet you enjoy. The author specifically loves the tartness of Roman Raspberry to offset the bittersweet chocolate-covered Saltines, so any tart, fruity sorbet will work well in that role.
Why does the recipe use Saltine crackers instead of a traditional ice cream sandwich cookie?
The salty, crisp bite of chocolate-dipped Saltines gives the sandwich a salty-sweet contrast that the author feels gives traditional cookies “some competition.” The thin, flat shape of a Saltine also makes it easy to dip in the melted Ghirardelli dark chocolate and to sandwich the sorbet without it squishing out. 
These are cute!
