Coconut Cream Chocolate Truffles (Vegan)

Ingredients:

For the chocolate centers

1 ¾ vegan chocolate chips (or any dark chocolate you prefer)

1 cup coconut cream

1/8 cup cocoa powder

1/8 cup Coconut Cloud Original vegan hot cocoa mix

For the chocolate coating

1 ¾ cups vegan chocolate chips (or any chopped chocolate you like)

1 tsp coconut oil

For decoration

Shredded coconut, shaved chocolate, chopped nuts, or any other yummy toppings you want!

Directions:

1. Make the chocolate centers: Add the chocolate chips to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Mix together the cocoa powder and Coconut Cloud hot cocoa mix in a separate small bowl and set aside.
2. Heat the coconut cream to a simmer (using a saucepan on the stovetop is the best method).
3. Pour the simmering coconut cream over the chocolate in the mixing bowl. Let sit for several seconds as the chocolate begins to melt, and then stir/whisk until smooth.
4. Place the bowl into the fridge to set (for 2-3 hours). It should be set/solid all the way through.
5. Once set, use a small cookie dough scoop or teaspoon to scoop out little balls. Gently roll in your hands to form a nice ball shape and drop into the cocoa powder mixture to coat.
6. Set the formed balls on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer.
7. Prepare the chocolate coating: Add the remaining chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on short intervals until melted and smooth. Add in the coconut oil and stir to combine.
8. Drop the chocolate center balls into the chocolate coating, and using a fork, roll them around until fully coated.
9. Place back onto parchment on a cookie tray and decorate/top with the toppings of your choice. Place into the fridge until the coating is set, and then enjoy!
