Ingredients
- 200 grams Dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 120 milliliters Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the dairy-free dark chocolate chips in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly. Alternatively, you can also roll them in finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variety.
Step 8
Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set them completely.
Step 9
Serve the truffles cold and enjoy! They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
