Healthy Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate truffles are super easy to make and look impressive. Whether for Christmas or an afternoon treat, grab the cocoa and go.
Ingredients
- 225 grams high quality dark chocolate 60-70%
- 1 cup coconut milk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- On low heat, add chocolate pieces to a small sauce pan.
- As chocolate starts to melt, add in coconut fat/milk and stir together gently.
- When melted together, remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
- Let mixture cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Refrigerate for an hour until the chocolate mix is ready to scoop and roll.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon into a ball and roll. Place on a plate or tray and repeat for remaining chocolate.
- In a shallow bowl, add cocoa powder and roll each ball into the powder until fully covered.
- Plate for immediate consumption or place in a container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can also freeze truffles for long term storage, though the cocoa powder might soak in some.
- Try adding a hazelnut inside the filling of each candy!
- Use the canned coconut milk. Make sure it is room temp, and stir it to combine the fat and milk before scooping out what you need.
