Ingredients

3.5oz (100 g) 85% dark chocolate
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil
1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut milk or coconut cream (skim from the top of a can of coconut milk)
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract (or brandy or other alcohol)
Coatings: 100% chocolate powder, unsweetened shredded coconut, or chopped nuts

Instructions

Place the chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl and melt using 30 second cycles.
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave separately and add to the melted chocolate. Stir together.
While the mixture is still warm, quickly add in the coconut milk or cream (try to use milk that’s at room temperature) and the alcohol or vanilla extract. Mix well.
Place in freezer for 2 hours.
After removing from the freezer, let it thaw for 5-10 minutes so that the chocolate is soft enough to scoop out with a spoon.
Using a melon scoop or just using a spoon, scoop out small chunks of chocolate and form it into balls in your hands.
Add the coating of your choice by rolling the chocolate ball through the coating.
