Preparation:

Melt chocolate in a glass bowl over pan of boiling water until just melted. Stir with a spatula until smooth.

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add melted chocolate and mix until smooth and creamy. Add cocoa powder and mix until blended. The mixture will be crumbly at first but will come together as a dough. Gradually add sugar and beat until the dough is soft and creamy.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls (this is messy!). Dip and roll balls into shallow bowls of icing sugar or sifted cocoa powder. Place truffles on a baking sheet lined with baking parchnment. Chill for at least an hour.
