Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sprinkle a clean surface lightly with flour and roll out the dairy-free puff pastry sheets until they're about 0.5 cm thick.
Cut the pastry into squares approximately 10 cm by 10 cm. You should be able to get about eight squares from a standard-sized sheet.
Prick the surface of each square with a fork lightly to prevent too much puffing.
Place the squares onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
While the pastry cools, break the dairy-free dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over low heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate pieces.
Let it sit for about 2 minutes, then whisk together until smooth and glossy to create a chocolate ganache.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt into the chocolate ganache thoroughly.
Once the puff pastry squares have cooled, dip each one into the ganache to cover one side, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the chocolate-covered pastry squares back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 5-10 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Before serving, dust the pastries with powdered sugar if desired.
