Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (vegan, 70% cocoa or higher)
- 60 grams Tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 100 grams Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- 4 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
1. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
2. In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut cream over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
3. Pour the hot coconut cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
4. Add the tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined and glossy.
Step 5
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm but scoopable.
Step 6
6. Once chilled, scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
Step 7
7. Spread the toasted sesame seeds on a shallow plate. Roll each truffle in the sesame seeds to coat evenly. Alternatively, you can dust some truffles with cocoa powder for variety.
Step 8
8. Place the coated truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 9
9. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
