Blitz for a few moments, then add about 2-3 Tbsp of water. Continue to blitz until it starts to come together as a ball.
Take a golf size ball and roll in your hand. You can make them smaller if you wish, I just make them this size for my long distance runs!
Place on a plate and dust over the other tbsp of cocoa. Turning them over so that they are coated and dusted on all sides.
