Spanish term

Huevas de Trufa

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary item on menu
A cold dish on a "cocktail" menu:

Cucharilla de Patata a la Vainilla con Huevas de Trufa

I only know one meaning for trufa (truffle), so does it mean that they are small pieces of truffle and that "huevas" is used metaphorically? Or am I on the wrong track - does trufa have another (fishy) meaning?
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 Trout roe
4 truffle eggs

Trout roe

I wonder if this isn't a mistake, since it is indeed a typo on one of the very few documents that contains this term. Have a look:

Copa de berberechos con mouse de maruca ahumada, gelatina de tomate y ***huevas de trufa***

Ingredientes
-350 gramos de maruca ahumada (bacalao en su defecto).
-1 litro de nata.
-80 gramos de patata.
-2 hojas de gelatina.
-sal.
-2 docenas de berberechos frescos.
-4 cucharaditas fe ***huevas de trucha.***
-2 tomates.

I thought this sounded familiar--you had a previous question about "Cuchara de patata a la vainilla con huevas de trucha". Might it be for the same client?

I think you are right that it is truffle shaped into the form of eggs.
