Ingredients: For the Truffle Filling:

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Shredded coconut, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, combine the shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture comes together and forms a thick, sticky dough.
  2. Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. While the truffle filling is chilling, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  4. Remove the chilled truffle filling from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each truffle for added texture and decoration.
  6. Once all the truffles are coated, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
