🧾 Ingredients
- Chocolate chips: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
- Coconut milk: I used full-fat coconut milk.
- Peppermint extract: I used peppermint extract, but mint extract would also work.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Pour coconut milk into a double boiler or a saucepan.
Step 2: Place chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl above the saucepan. Heat until the coconut milk is simmering and the chocolate chips are melted slightly.
Step 3: Add the coconut milk to the chocolate chips. Whisk to get out the lumps.
Step 4: Add peppermint extract and salt. Let cool and refrigerate.
Step 5: Scoop out the mixture with a melon baller, tablespoon, or ice cream scoop. Then roll the balls in your hands.
Step 6: Roll in cacao powder. Store in the fridge to keep solid.
💭 Tips
- You don't need to melt the chocolate chips completely because the coconut milk will do that when you add it to the chocolate.
- Add less peppermint extract and taste to see how you like it.
- For easier rolling, dampen your hands.

📋 Recipe
Chocolate Peppermint Truffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 ounce bag)
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Pour coconut milk into a saucepan on the stovetop. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and place over coconut milk. This will act as a double boiler (or use a double boiler if you have one). Heat on medium heat until coconut milk comes to a simmer, and chocolate chips are melted slightly.
- Remove both from the heat, and pour coconut milk over the chocolate chips to finish melting. Mix until smooth.
- Add peppermint extract and salt. Mix thoroughly. Pour into a 7 ½" x 9 ½" glass baking dish, or a similar size. Cover and put in the refrigerator to set.
- Once the mixture is set, use a melon baller, spoon, or ice cream scoop to form balls. Roll balls in your hands, then into cacao powder. Refrigerate.
