Description

Dark Chocolate Vegan Truffles with Matcha Green Tea.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Coconut Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Matcha Powder
  • 10 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa), Finely Chopped
  • Optional Toppings, Such As Matcha, Black Sesame Seeds, Toasted Coconut

Preparation

In a heat-proof bowl, microwave coconut milk, oil, maple syrup (if using) and matcha powder for 30 seconds, or until coconut milk bubbles. Stir in chocolate and place a bowl or lid over the top of the bowl to lock in the heat. Let rest for 5 minutes, then mix until smooth. (If there are still chocolate lumps, zap for 10 more seconds in the microwave. I had to do this twice.)

Place the bowl in the fridge until chocolate is firm, about 3–4 hours. (Dana over at Minimalist Baker has a great tip: stick a knife through the center of the chocolate mixture and make sure it comes out clean.)

Using a melon baller or teaspoon, portion chocolate and roll in your hands to form smooth, round balls. The colder the chocolate is, the easier it will be to roll. Pop the bowl back in the fridge every 5 minutes if you need to. Also, keep a bowl of water handy for your chocolatey paws!

Arrange toppings, if using, on separate plates and roll your balls in them, pressing to adhere. For the matcha, you can also just use a sifter (looks prettier this way). Return to the fridge to firm up further, about 20 minutes. Or store them for later—they last up to one week!

Note: If you don’t have a microwave, have no fear! Simply heat your milk in a small saucepan. If there are still lumps, refill the saucepan with an inch or two of water and bring to a boil. Pop the bowl on top (it shouldn’t be touching the water) and voila, a makeshift double boiler! Stir until chocolate is smooth and then remove the bowl.
