Servings: makes 20

Total Time: 45 minutes

 

Ingredients: 

    CHOCOLATE GANACHE

    • 1 ¾ cups Vegan Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate (300g)
    • 1 cup Coconut Cream (240ml
    • ¼ cup Cocoa Powder (22g) Unsweetened, for rolling

    CHOCLATE COATING

    • 1 ¾ cups Vegan Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate (300g )
    • 1 tsp Coconut Oil

     

    Method:

    • Prepare the chocolate ganache: Add the chocolate to a mixing bowl.
    • Heat the coconut cream to a simmer.
    • Pour the simmering coconut cream over the chocolate pieces in the mixing bowl. Leave to sit for around a minute to melt, then mix it into a chocolate sauce.
    • Place into the fridge to set. This will take a few hours (2-3 hours, you’ll know it’s set when you stick a knife into it and it’s solid all the way down).
    • When set, use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to scoop out even amounts of the ganache and drop it into the cocoa powder, then use your hands to roll it into a ball. The cocoa powder will stop it from sticking to your hands. Place the balls onto a parchment lined baking tray.
    • When all the balls are rolled, place into the freezer to harden.
    • Prepare the chocolate coating: When the balls are nice and hard, melt the chocolate until completely smooth and melted. Add in your coconut oil and stir.
    • Drop the balls into the chocolate one by one and use two teaspoons to manoeuvre the balls in the chocolate and back onto the parchment lined baking tray. Decorate with chocolate shavings.
    • Return to the fridge for the chocolate to set and enjoy
