Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (vegan, at least 70% cocoa)
- 120 milliliters Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it come to a boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir well.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Step 7
Once firm, use a small cookie scoop or a melon baller to portion out the chocolate mixture into small, even-sized balls.
Step 8
Roll each portion between your palms to shape them into smooth spheres.
Step 9
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Step 10
Transfer the coated truffles to a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 11
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure they are set.
Step 12
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
