Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

  • ½ cup full-fat coconut cream
  • 9 ounces vegan dark chocolate finely chopped
  • ½ tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • cup dutch-processed cocoa powder

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut cream over medium-low heat, just until the edges begin to simmer.
  • Immediately turn off the heat, then add the dark chocolate. Stir to combine until everything is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to a medium bowl, then add peppermint extract and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then set uncovered in the fridge just until solidified but still pliable.
  • Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the chocolate, then use your hands to gently shape the truffles. Set aside on a dish lined with parchment paper.
  • Repeat until all the truffles are scooped and shaped.
  • Set the cocoa powder on a large plate, then roll the truffles around until they are fully covered.
  • Serve immediately or store covered in the fridge for up to a week.
  • To serve, let them come to room temperature for maximum smooth creaminess.
  • Enjoy with family and friends!
