Dairy Free Vegan Chocolate Valentine Truffles
Description
Dairy Free Vegan Chocolate Valentine Truffles are made by heating coconut milk with agave syrup until steaming, then melting dark chocolate morsels into the warm liquid. This creates a smooth chocolate ganache without dairy. After chilling until firm, the ganache is scooped into balls and rolled in cocoa powder to add a touch of bitterness and a pleasing outer texture. The recipe highlights coconut milk's creamy fat to replace traditional cream, creating a vegan, rich, and smooth truffle.
The truffles have a deep chocolate flavor balanced by natural sweetness and finish with a light coating of cocoa powder that can be a bit messy but adds rustic charm. They are stored in the refrigerator to hold their shape and remain firm until served.
You can adjust sweetness by using semi-sweet chocolate or adding more agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter bite. These truffles work well as a homemade gift or a plant-based dessert for chocolate lovers seeking dairy-free options.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup coconut milk full fat; canned
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey
- 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate morsels 7 ounces, enjoy life foods brand
- cocoa powder for rolling
Instructions
- Stir together the coconut milk and honey in a large pot on medium heat, cooking it until it JUST begins to steam, make sure you don't let it boil.
- Once steaming, remove from the heat and add in the dark chocolate morsels. Let them stand, without stirring, for 30 seconds. Then, whisk until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Pour the mixture into a small bowl and lay a piece of saran wrap right over top of the chocolate. This prevents a skin from forming on top. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 2-3 hours.
- Once set, use a cookie scoop to from into balls and roll into cocoa powder (it'll be a bit messy!)
- DEVOUR!**
Notes
- Add more agave syrup or use semi-sweet chocolate for a sweeter truffle.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
