Ingredients

1 3/4 cups dark chocolate chips
1 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
1/4 cup coconut flakes finely shredded, unsweetened

Instructions

Prep

Place cocoa powder and coconut flakes into separate, small bowls.

Make

Add chocolate chips to a glass mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat coconut cream until it just simmers. Pour over chocolate chips and stir until chips are completely melted.
Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Using a small ice cream scoop, drop the mixture into either cocoa powder or coconut and gently use your hands to form a ball. Do not over-handle as chocolate will begin to melt again.
Place truffles on a parchment-lined plate and return to refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

Coconut cream is different from coconut milk - it has a higher fat content necessary to make the truffles solid.
Dark chocolate is typically dairy-free but please check the ingredient label to be certain [look for 70%+ cocoa].
A variety of coatings work well here - our other favorites: peanut butter powder and finely crushed nuts.
