Ingredients
- 1.5 cups dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 0.5 cup dairy-free shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut oil. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Stir occasionally to ensure the coconut oil melts completely.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips. Allow them to sit for a minute to soften, then stir the mixture until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, mixing well to combine.
Step 4
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm enough to be scooped and rolled.
Step 5
Once firm, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
Step 6
To coat the chocolate balls, place the unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut each in separate shallow bowls.
Step 7
Roll each chocolate ball in your choice of coatings. For a varied presentation, coat some in cocoa powder, some in nuts, and some in shredded coconut.
Step 8
Once all the chocolate balls are coated, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 9
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up further.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
