½cupRaw Cashews(or Sunflower Seeds to make nut free)
5tablespoonUnsweetened Cocoa Powder
¼cupground Chia Seeds
1teaspoonVanilla Extract(or Almond extract)
2-3tablespoonWater,as needed
14Frozen Cherries

Instructions
Add the first 5 ingredients to a food processor, and process on high until well blended, scraping down sides as needed. The mixture should resemble coarse sand.
Add water, a tablespoon at a time, to the running food processor, until the mixture forms a thick, dough-like consistency.
Using plastic gloves, measure out 1 tablespoon of the mixture, and carefully form it into a bowl shape.
Place one frozen cherry in the dough "bowl", and form the dough around it to make a sphere. Smooth out the sphere so no liquid can leak out.
Roll the truffle in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, ground almonds, or anything else you desire.
