Ingredients
Scale
1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned, not from a carton)
10 ounces good quality vegan dark chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For coating: cocoa powder, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles
Instructions
In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the finely chopped vegan dark chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to melt.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy. If using, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow dish or pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
Once firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms.
Roll the truffles in your desired coating (cocoa powder, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles).
Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat canned coconut milk, as it provides a richer and creamier texture.
The quality of your chocolate will significantly impact the flavor of the truffles. Choose a good quality vegan dark chocolate you enjoy.
If the mixture is too soft to roll, return it to the refrigerator for a bit longer.
You can experiment with different flavorings, such as orange zest, peppermint extract, or a pinch of chili powder.
