Ingredients

9 oz vegan dark chocolate chopped
½ cup light coconut milk*
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: vegan dark chocolate melted with coconut oil and chopped toasted walnuts/hazelnuts or sprinkles

Instructions

Heat chocolate and coconut milk in the microwave for about a minute, stirring every 20 seconds until melted and smooth.
Add vanilla extract and stir to combine. Refrigerate uncovered for two hours, until almost solid but scoopable. Add additional refrigeration time if needed if the center is not set after two hours.
Once chocolate is set, scoop tablespoons of chocolate mixture into palms and roll into balls. You should end up with 16 balls. Arrange truffles on a large baking sheet. If desired, drizzle or spoon chocolate melted with coconut oil over top of truffles and immediately sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles. Refrigerate for 30 mins to allow chocolate coating to harden and enjoy!

Notes

*you can also use full-fat coconut milk, you may need a couple of tablespoons less
These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature in a cool, dry environment for up to 3 days. Allow the truffles to come to room temperature if stored in the fridge before enjoying.
