Notes: These truffles are very dark, similar to the taste of 70-75% dark chocolate. If you prefer sweeter truffles, substitute extra agave for some (or all) of the applesauce.
Honey or maple syrup may be substituted for the agave. Do not substitute anything for the molasses; along with the ginger, it gives the truffles the characteristic gingerbread taste.
If the cocoa powder is not completely incorporated after a few minutes of stirring, then there was probably a little too much cocoa powder in the bowl. Add a touch more applesauce ½ teaspoon at a time until all of the cocoa powder is incorporated into the truffle mixture.
