Instructions

Add the dark chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. If using dark chocolate bars, finely chop them first and add them to the bowl.
Heat the coconut milk until very hot but not boiling, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Pour the hot coconut milk evenly over the chocolate. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
Uncover and gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. If a few pieces don’t melt, microwave the mixture in 5–10 second bursts, stirring well after each one, until smooth.
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm but still easy to scoop.
Scoop the chilled truffle mixture into small mounds (about 2 teaspoons each). I like using a small cookie scoop to portion them evenly, but a teaspoon or tablespoon works too. This recipe yields about 12–16 truffles, depending on the size.
Roll each portion into a ball with your hands, then coat in cocoa powder or your preferred toppings, shaking off any excess.
Serve immediately, or store the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
These truffles also freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before enjoying.
