How to Prepare Raw Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles [Vegan]

Combine the ingredients for the truffles in a mixing bowl; it might be easier to use your hands for this. It should be a pretty tough dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, half the size of a golf ball. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Melt the cacao butter in a bowl over a pot of hot water. Stir in the cacao powder and sweetener.
Pour over the truffles, add the topping(s) of your choice and refrigerate for at least an hour.
