120 ml full-fat coconut milk, well shaken or stirred

2.5 ml mint extract
→ Optional Toppings

# How to Make It:
01 -
Warm coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low.
02 -
Add chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously over low heat until fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in mint extract.
03 -
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
04 -
Using a small ice cream scoop or metal spoon, portion the chilled chocolate mixture and roll between your palms to form smooth spheres.
05 -
If desired, dip each truffle in melted dark or white chocolate and immediately top with sprinkles or other decorations before the chocolate sets.
06 -
Place finished truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
If melting chocolate proves difficult, ensure coconut milk is adequately warm and chocolate is chopped finely for even melting.
02 -
A small ice cream scoop provides uniform truffle size, but a spoon can be used if necessary.
03 -
Truffles can be rolled in sifted cocoa powder as an alternative to chocolate dipping.
04 -
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
