Ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are only 4: chocolate, salt flakes, margarine and coconut milk.
Since we use few ingredients these must be of high quality. It's totally worth spending some extra cash for some great chocolate, you'll thank me later, trust me!
Chocolate
For this recipe we use dark chocolate with at least 70% of cacao. Depending on the level of sweetness desired, it is possible to use chocolate with a cacao level between 70% and 80%.
The higher the cacao percentage the less sweet the treats will turn out.
Margarine
Margarine helps us stabilize truffles and make them creamier. It can be substituted with refined coconut oil.
Do They Taste Like Coconut?
Short answer: No! The dark chocolate covers perfectly the coconut flavour. Therefore don't be afraid of using it. You'll love them, trust me!
How To Store
We can store the vegan chocolate truffles in the fridge or freezer.
- Fridge: Place the truffles in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: Place the truffles in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Before serving let them thaw.
