Ingredients

  • 150 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
  • 60 ml Coconut cream, chilled and solid
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch Sea salt

Instructions

  • Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heat-proof glass or stainless steel bowl.
  • Heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches a light simmer.
  • Pour the hot coconut cream immediately over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
  • Gently whisk the mixture starting from the center until a smooth, glossy emulsion is formed.
  • Incorporate the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the ganache.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for approximately 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
  • Using a small scoop or teaspoon, portion the mixture into 12 equal pieces.
  • Quickly roll each portion between your palms to form smooth spheres.
  • Roll each truffle in a shallow bowl of unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly coated.
  • Chill for an additional 15 minutes before serving to set the exterior.
