Begin by placing the dairy-free dark chocolate chips in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the full-fat coconut milk and maple syrup. Heat until the mixture is just about to simmer, making sure not to boil.
Pour the hot coconut milk mixture over the chocolate chips, making sure the chocolate is fully covered. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to let the chocolate begin to melt.
Whisk the mixture gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.
Let the ganache cool slightly at room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until it is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the ganache and roll them gently between your palms to form smooth balls.
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly. Alternatively, you can also roll them in finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variety.
Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set them completely.
Serve the truffles cold and enjoy! They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
