Ingredients
9ozvegan dark chocolate,(1¼ cup), very finely chopped
7tbsplight canned coconut milk,or full-fat, well shaken
½tspvanilla extract,optional
¼cupunsweetened cocoa,or cacao powder, or finely ground hazelnuts, optional
Preparation
Place finely chopped chocolate in a medium-sized mixing bowl. The finer the chocolate is chopped, the easier it will melt and the quicker the truffle-making process will go.
In a separate small mixing bowl, add coconut milk and microwave for about 25 seconds or until it’s very warm but not boiling.
Immediately add coconut milk to chocolate and loosely cover with a cooking lid or towel to trap the heat in. Do not touch for 5 minutes.
Then lift cover and use a mixing spoon to gently stir, trying not to incorporate air. Continue stirring until completely melted, creamy, and smooth.
Add vanilla at this time and stir (optional).
Set the mixture in the refrigerator to chill uncovered for 2 to 3 hours, or until almost completely solid.
