3. Meanwhile, in a double boiler heat the chocolate until it’s all melted.
4. Cool the chocolate until it’s comfortable to work with (about 5 minutes) and fold in the cashew cream (making sure not to stir too fast or you’ll create bubbles).

6. Using a teaspoon, scoop out a small ball and roll in cocoa powder. Repeat until all has been formed into balls.
7. If not eating right away, store truffles covered in refrigerator. Remove about 20 minutes before ready to serve to bring to room temperature.
