Chocolate Strawberry Truffles
These Chocolate Strawberry Truffles are so luscious and a great way to celebrate Valentines Day! Their creamy dark chocolate center is balanced by the tart strawberry powder on the outside. A perfect dessert for a night in or Galentines Day!
Servings: 40 truffles
Ingredients
- 20 ounces dark chocolate 70% or higher, finely chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk warmed
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberry powder
Instructions
- In a small pan, bring the coconut milk to a simmer, then remove from heat. Make sure the coconut milk is just barely at a simmer when you remove it from heat, if it is boiling it can burn and ruin the chocolate.
- Add the chocolate, butter, and salt to a medium-sized bowl, and pour over the warmed coconut milk. Whisk the mixture until smooth.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least four hours to harden.
- Once hardened, use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture into a ball and roll in the strawberry powder.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- If your chocolate seizes, you can microwave it on low power (or defrost setting) in 15 second intervals, stirring each time, until it comes back to temperature.
