Chocolate Truffles

Chocolate is my secret love.

I have this weird obsession with buying dark chocolate wherever we travel. I end up with a pile of beautiful bars tucked away in the wine fridge to keep them fresh. I hate to touch my exotic treats and I’m always “saving” them for a special occasion. Meanwhile, I now have a really good stash of high-quality chocolate that makes for a perfect truffle. You could temper your own chocolate, but these are great for the times when you want to make something delicious and beautiful with no fuss. I’m currently having a love affair with sea salt and chocolate. I add a touch of Himalayan pink salt to my truffle mixture.

  • Toasted coconut
  • Melted chocolate

Instructions

  1. Bring the coconut milk to a boil. Turn off heat.
  2. Add the vanilla and chocolate a bit at a time and whisk in until smooth.

Recipe Notes

You must use a high-quality dark chocolate. Use 70% if you like your chocolate a little bitter.

Opt for the coconut cream over whipping cream for a lightened up non-dairy option. Make sure you buy a high-fat coconut cream vs a runny coconut milk!
