Instructions

Start by chopping up your chocolate (if it is a bar).
In a saucepan, begin heating your coconut milk over medium heat. Once it simmers immediately turn it down to low and add in the chocolate.
Mix continuously until chocolate is melted, smooth and well-combined with the coconut milk. At this point you can add in the vanilla and salt (optional).
Pour into a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3 hours (or overnight).
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out ~1-1.5 inch balls and roll between your hands.
Optional: roll in your favorite toppings.
Place in the fridge for another hour to further harden (You can also eat them right away and they will be delicious, but even better when they firm up a bit more!)

Notes

Tips:

It is essential that your coconut milk is well-mixed. Full-fat coconut milk tends to separate in the can quite a bit. If you don't mix it well and use more of the "liquid" part, your truffles will NOT firm up nicely and be runny. To mix well, shake the can or mix well with a spoon (you can also put in a separate bowl to warm up in the microwave to help it combine better!)
I recommend using a high quality dark chocolate that is close to 60-70% cocoa as it will create a richer flavor for your vegan truffles. Check to make sure there is no dairy added in the ingredients.

Storage

I recommend storing your truffles in the fridge in a container. When you want to eat them, take them out 30 minutes before eating. (Although they taste great a little chilled too!)

These truffles can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.
