Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up. This step makes it easier to handle and shape the truffles.

Shape the Truffles: Once the mixture has chilled, take it out and scoop small portions to form bite-sized truffles. Roll each portion into a round ball, ensuring a smooth and even surface.

Coat in Cocoa: To enhance the chocolatey experience, roll each truffle in cocoa powder, ensuring they are generously coated. This step adds a touch of bitterness that balances the sweetness.
