Vegan Dark Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- 10 oz Vegan Dark Chocolate (78% or higher)
- 1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder
Instructions
- 1. Finely chop chocolate with a knife and place in a medium size bowl.
- 2. Heat lite coconut milk in a small saucepan and place on medium heat until it simmers.
- 3. Immediately pour milk over the finely chopped chocolate pieces + cover for 3-5 minutes.
- 4. Lift cover and stir until ingredients are mixed.
- 5. Place in refrigerator for approximately 2 hours or until the mixture has begun to hard. You can tell by pressing lightly into the mixture. It should give and leave a print.
- 6. Scoop into balls and roll into the cacao dust. (Note: Avoid putting too much cacao dust on them. You'll want it to just be lightly dusted as shown in the picture.)
- 7. Refrigerate to firm up if needed.
- 8. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving if refrigerated for longer periods.
Notes
You may use other kinds of chocolate however, be aware of melting points. For example, white chocolate or a milk chocolate will melt faster than a dark chocolate. You may need to let it rest longer to firm up in the fridge and it will not firm up the same as a darker chocolate.
If you do not have a scale to measure out 10 oz., check the ounces listed on the packing to get as close to possible to the amount needed. For reference, I use (5) Hu Chocolate bars (approximately 2.1 oz per bar).
