Ingredients
  • For about 12 truffles:
  • 100 g black chocolate (dairy free), 60%-70%
  • 30 g confectionner sugar (I used muscovado homemade confectionner sugar)
  • 30 g neutral coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 60 ml vegetal cream
  • Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • Edible gold dust powder (optional)
Instructions
  1. Melt the chopped chocolate in a bain-marie. Incorporate the oil progressively in 2-3 times. Then mix in the sugar, salt and the cream, whisking well for a smooth texture.
  2. Let it cool down and place in the fridge until it is hard enough to roll into balls.
  3. Using a teaspoon, roll the chocolate paste into small balls. Put cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll each ball in it. Add a pinch a gold dust powder. Keep in the fridge in a closed recipient until you serve.
Notes
Muscovado sugar adds nice caramel flavor to the chocolate, so I chose not to add any other flavoring. If you use white confectionner sugar, add a pinch of vanilla powder to your chocolate mixture!
