Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2.8 oz coffee-flavored chocolate*
- ½ cup coconut cream (just the cream from a can of full fat coconut milk)**
- 2 Tbsp vegan butter***
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating
- 2.8 oz coffee-flavored chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Topping
- Flaked sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a small saucepan. Place the saucepan on a stovetop over low heat and melt while stirring frequently to blend the coffee-flavored chocolate, coconut cream, vegan butter, vanilla, instant coffee, and salt into a smooth mixture.
- Chill the Filling: Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the mixture to the fridge. Chill for at least 45 minutes or until firm enough to scoop. If necessary, chill longer to ensure the filling is firm.
- Scoop and Freeze: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop to portion the filling onto a lined baking sheet. Freeze these scooped fillings for at least 20 minutes to harden before coating.
- Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the coffee-flavored chocolate and coconut oil until fully smooth and combined.
- Dip the Truffles: Retrieve the scooped and frozen filling balls and dip each into the melted chocolate coating, ensuring full coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Garnish and Set: Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the dipped truffles and optionally sprinkle with flaked sea salt for added texture and flavor.
- Store: Store the finished truffles in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to two months to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use coffee-flavored chocolate or substitute with regular dark chocolate and add extra instant coffee for a stronger coffee taste.
- Coconut cream should be chilled to separate the thick cream from the liquid in the can of full fat coconut milk.
- Vegan butter can be replaced with coconut oil if preferred.
- Ensure the filling is thoroughly chilled and firm before scooping to achieve perfect truffle shapes.
- Flaked sea salt topping is optional but enhances flavor contrast.
- Keep truffles refrigerated or frozen for best texture and longevity.
