Description
These rich and creamy dark chocolate truffles are coated in tart freeze-dried strawberries for the perfect balance of flavors. With only three vegan ingredients, theyโre incredibly easy to make and perfect for gifting or indulging.
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup full-fat unsweetened coconut milk (from a well-shaken can)
-
9 oz dark chocolate (at least 70%)
-
1 oz freeze-dried strawberries
-
1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
1. Heat the Coconut Milk:
-
Add the coconut milk to a large heatproof bowl.
-
Microwave until very warm but not boiling (or heat on the stovetop).
2. Melt the Chocolate:
-
Immediately add the dark chocolate to the bowl.
-
Cover with a plate and let sit for 5 minutes to melt.
-
Stir until smooth. If chocolate remains unmelted, microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted.
3. Chill the Mixture:
-
Place the chocolate mixture in the fridge for about 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
4. Crush the Strawberries:
-
Place freeze-dried strawberries in a seal-able plastic bag.
-
Lightly crush using a rolling pin until finely ground.
-
Spread the crushed strawberries onto a plate.
5. Roll the Truffles:
-
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the chocolate mixture.
-
Roll each portion into small balls with your hands.
-
Roll the truffles in the strawberry dust to coat.
6. Serve & Store:
ย
-
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days.
-
For the best texture, allow truffles to come to room temperature before serving.
Notes
-
Use raspberries instead of strawberries for a different fruity twist!
-
Add ยฝ tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp maple syrup for extra flavor.
ย
-
If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate longer before rolling.
