Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside for chilling the truffles.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut cream to the glass bowl, stirring gently until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in peppermint extract and pinch of salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until it begins to firm up but remains scoopable.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out uniform truffle balls onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set and firm completely.
- Roll the chilled truffles in cocoa powder, coating evenly on all sides.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For serving, allow truffles to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.
Tips
- Use high-quality dairy-free chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Ensure your coconut cream is at room temperature to help it blend more smoothly with the chocolate.
- When creating the double boiler, keep the water at a gentle simmer to prevent water splashing into your chocolate.
- Allow the truffle mixture to cool gradually to achieve the right scoopable consistency.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes, ensuring even chilling and coating.
- For a decorative touch, try rolling some truffles in crushed peppermint candy or additional cocoa powder variations.
- If the mixture becomes too firm while cooling, briefly warm it using the double boiler method.
