Description

This vegan chocolate truffle recipe is a rich and indulgent treat made with coconut milk and dark chocolate. The coconut milk adds a creamy texture and a subtle flavor, while the dark chocolate makes for a deeply-flavored treat.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces dark chocolate (at least 72% cacao), chopped*
  • cup (155g) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste, optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure orange extract, optional
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Good quality unsweetened cocoa powder, option

Coatings, optional

  • Cocoa powder
  • Sprinkles
  • Toasted and chopped nuts

Instructions

  • Place chocolate in a glass or metal bowl, set aside.
  • In a glass measuring cup, microwave coconut milk on high until simmering, 1–1 ½ minutes.
  • Pour hot coconut milk over chocolate, cover with plastic wrap and let sit 5 minutes.
  • Add corn syrup, vanilla bean paste, extract, and salt; gently stir ganache until smooth and completely incorporated.
  • Transfer ganache to an 8-inch square baking dish, and spread into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate until firm and scoopable, about 30 minutes
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop ganache by #40 scoop (or 1 ½ tablespoon measure), gently roll into a ball between palms, and transfer to prepared sheet. Repeat until all of ganache is used.
  • Roll truffles in desired coating(s), then transfer to an airtight container and store in refrigerator.
  • Remove truffles from refrigerator at least 10 minutes prior to serving.

Notes

Bring truffles to room temperature before enjoying.
Chocolate: use certified vegan dark chocolate if following a strict vegan diet.
