Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cooling Time: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup (200g) dark chocolate chips (vegan)
1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder, for coating

Instructions

Prepare a small baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Combine the melted chocolate, heated coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
Scoop small amounts of the mixture using a teaspoon or melon baller and roll them into balls with your hands.
Coat each truffle in cocoa powder by rolling them in a shallow dish filled with cocoa powder until fully covered.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Additional Notes

For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture. You can also roll the truffles in chopped nuts or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder for a unique twist.
