Chocolate Truffles with Collagen

Talk about super healthy and dairy-free chocolate truffles! These are a TRUE crowd-pleaser—a relatively simple dessert to make and indulge in without the guilt. The only downside is that if left out for too long, they will get soft and melt. Make sure to keep them in the refrigerator and take them out 10-15 minutes before serving. As long as the temperature is reasonably decent, on the cooler side, everything will be fine. I am grateful to have had the chance to make these during my time at the Center of Functional Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. I have to say even Dr. Mark Hyman has tried these ;-). So I guess so must you.

Make sure it is a cool temperature and use some cacao powder if you have to so it doesn't stick to your hands and melt. Sweetness might need to be adjusted based on your taste preference.
