Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until a smooth dough is formed. The dough will be fairly soft and sticky, it might help to chill for a little while for easier handling.
With slightly wet hands, scoop up the mixture and roll into small balls. Rolls each ball in the cocoa coating. Store in the fridge or freeze for a firmer truffle (defrost for 5 minutes prior to eating for best flavour).
