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)

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Step 4

Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir gently until you have a smooth, glossy ganache.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
