Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set aside for later use.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add dark chocolate chips to the glass bowl and gently melt, stirring occasionally until smooth and completely liquid.
- Once chocolate is melted, remove from heat and slowly whisk in coconut cream and vanilla extract until mixture is glossy and well combined.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a shallow dish and refrigerate for approximately 10-15 minutes until slightly firm but still moldable.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out small rounds of the chocolate mixture and quickly roll between your palms to create smooth truffle balls.
- Prepare two separate shallow dishes: one with cocoa powder and another with shredded coconut for coating.
- Roll each truffle in either cocoa powder or shredded coconut, ensuring even coverage.
- Place finished truffles on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Serve chilled and store remaining truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Keep your hands cool when rolling truffles - run them under cold water or wear food-safe gloves to prevent the chocolate from melting. • For smoother truffles, chill the mixture thoroughly before shaping. • Experiment with different coatings like crushed nuts, powdered sugar, or even edible glitter for a personal touch. • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor profile. • If the truffle mixture is too soft, refrigerate it a bit longer before shaping. • Work quickly when rolling to maintain the truffles' shape and prevent melting.
