Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate
- 120 ml Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 50 grams Chopped nuts or dried fruits (optional)
Instructions
1. Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
3. Pour the hot coconut cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring to melt the chocolate.
4. Stir the chocolate and cream together gently with a spatula until completely smooth and glossy.
5. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
6. If using, stir in the chopped nuts or dried fruits until evenly distributed.
7. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until it's firm enough to scoop and shape.
8. Using a small scoop or a teaspoon, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands to form bonbons.
9. Place the bonbons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Chill the bonbons in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
11. To finish, melt some extra dairy-free chocolate and dip each bonbon for a glossy coating if desired.
12. Allow the coating to set completely before serving or packaging the bonbons.
