Ingredients

  • cup coconut cream
  • 2 cups vegan dark chocolate chips (60% or higher), or chopped chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup toasted coconut flakes (garnish)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder (garnish)

Instructions

  • Using a small saucepan, bring the coconut cream to a gentle simmer (do not boil!). Remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate chips and leave mixture to sit for around 5 minutes. This will allow chocolate to melt. Pour in vanilla extract and salt, and whisk to combine. Mixture should be smooth.
  • Transfer ganache to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Pour coconut flakes and cocoa powder (or your preferred garnishes) into two small bowls. Place parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop out ganache and use the palm of your hands to roll into a ball. Roll into coating and place on baking sheet. Try to work quickly so chocolate does not melt easily. Repeat with remaining truffles. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to help firm up.

Notes

  • Make sure chocolate ganache is firm before rolling into balls. You want ganache that is set but not stiff and hard to roll out. When ganache has firmed up, it should be easy to form into balls.
  • Make ahead: Chocolate ganache can be made and stored (covered) in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours before rolling into balls.
  • How to store: Store in the refrigerator (in an air-tight container) for up to one week. Bring to room temperature before eating.
  • How to freeze: Place in a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight.
