Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 120 milliliters full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
- 50 grams chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a 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. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir gently until you have a smooth, glossy ganache.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop portions of the ganache and roll them quickly between your palms to form balls.
Roll each truffle in your choice of coating, such as cocoa powder, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles. Place the coated truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
