Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate
- 120 milliliters Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium-sized heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Add the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate and milk mixture.
Gently stir the mixture with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until it becomes smooth and glossy.
Let the chocolate mixture cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Once the mixture is firm, use a small ice cream scoop or two teaspoons to form small balls of the chocolate mixture.
Roll each ball between your palms to smooth them out, then roll them in cocoa powder, making sure they are fully coated.
Place the finished truffles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 30 minutes to set them completely before serving.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
