These bite-sized goodies are not only cruelty-free but also incredibly easy to make, thanks to our step-by-step video guide and printable recipe.

Ingredients:

For the truffles:

240 ml coconut cream

300g chopped vegan chocolate

cocoa powder

To decorate:

25g desiccated coconut

300g vegan chocolate in a bowl

1 tsp coconut oil

How to make:

Step 1: Prepare the Truffle Centre

Start by creating the luscious truffle centre. In a bowl, melt 240 ml of coconut cream and pour it over 300g of finely chopped vegan chocolate. Give it a good mix, ensuring that the chocolate is thoroughly incorporated. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, allowing it to set to perfection.

Step 2: Shape into Decadent Balls

Once the truffle mixture has set, roll it into 20 delectable balls. To make the process smoother, place the truffles on a baking paper-lined tin. If the mixture proves a bit sticky, roll the truffles in cocoa powder to easily shape them without a mess.

Step 3: Toasted Coconut Bliss

Enhance the flavour profile by toasting 25g of desiccated coconut in a dry pan until it's beautifully golden and aromatic. This step adds a delightful crunch and an extra layer of coconut goodness to your truffles.

Step 4: The Chocolate Coating

In a bowl, melt 300g of vegan chocolate, and add a teaspoon of coconut oil for that perfect glossy finish. Stir until the chocolate and coconut oil are well combined. Using two spoons, coat each truffle in this heavenly chocolate mixture, then carefully place them on the baking paper to set.

Step 5: Finish with Toasted Coconut

As the chocolate coating sets, sprinkle the toasted desiccated coconut on top of each truffle. This not only adds a visually appealing touch but also an additional burst of coconut flavour.

Step 6: Share the Love

Whether you're planning to give these truffles as a heartfelt gift or savour them yourself, they're sure to bring joy. Pack them in a decorative box or tie them up with a ribbon for a thoughtful present.
