To make the Truffles:
-
Drain the soaked cashews to add to a food processor along with all the other ingredients & blend until completely smooth.
-
Taste and adjust the flavour accordingly, adding an extra cocoa if needed or a little water or almond butter if too dry.
-
Keeping the mixture in the the food processor bowl, refrigerate for 2 hours to harden - the mixture should be hard enough to easily shape into balls.
-
Sprinkle cocoa powder onto a plate.
-
Use two teaspoons to make teaspoon-sized balls of the mixture, then use your hands to roll the mixture in the cocoa powder.
-
Repeat for the rest of the mixture.
-
Keep truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
