Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to begin melting.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture.
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula or a whisk until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Once the mixture is firm, use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out small portions and roll them between your palms to form smooth, even-sized balls.
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each truffle in the cocoa to fully coat them.
Return the truffles to the refrigerator to set further for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve the truffles chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
