Camilla Saulsbury demonstrates how to make dark chocolate truffles using bittersweet chocolate and cashew cream.
Ingredients
1 and 1/3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (e.g., Ghiradelli)
1 8-ounce package 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup natural cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
Directions
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl according to package directions. Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla. Refrigerate until firm.
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to shape into 36 balls. Place cocoa on a dinner plate; generously roll and coat truffles in cocoa. Place on parchment or wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container between sheets of parchment or wax paper. Makes 3 dozen truffles.
