Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Cooling Time: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
150ml full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

Prepare a heatproof bowl by placing the chopped dark chocolate in it.
Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well incorporated.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Scoop small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
Dust the truffles with cocoa powder, rolling them gently to coat evenly.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Additional Notes

For a different flavor profile, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder or a splash of your favorite liqueur to the chocolate mixture. You can also roll the truffles in finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut for added texture.
