Last year for the holidays I made Vegan Mexican Chocolate Covered Almonds and Chocolate Rum Truffles. I loved both so much that I thought I'd combine the two.

I don't know if it was such a brilliant idea because I've been indulging in them after almost every meal! They are too good to resist.

Mexican Chocolate Truffles Are Made With

• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• full fat coconut milk
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• cayenne pepper
• vanilla extract
• salt
• cacao powder

Tips For Making Mexican Chocolate Truffles

• Heat up the coconut milk in a double boiler or saucepan with the chocolate chips in a bowl (or the double boiler) above it. Heat them until the coconut milk is simmering and the chocolate chips are melted slightly. You don't need to melt the chocolate chips completely during this step because the coconut milk will do that in the next step.
• Add the coconut milk to the chocolate chips and mix until there are no lumps. Use a fork or whisk if necessary.
• Add the spices and vanilla extract to your liking.
• Don't forget the salt! It brings out the sweetness of the chocolate and adds balance.
• Let cool and refrigerate.
• Scoop out the mixture with a melon baller, tablespoon, or ice cream scoop (scooping out only a small amount). Then roll the balls in your hands. Your hands will be coated in chocolate, but that's the fun part.
• Roll in cacao powder to add a finished look.
• Store in the fridge to keep solid.

Instructions

• Pour coconut milk in a saucepan on 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 chocolate chips to finish melting. Mix until smooth.
• Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Pour into an 7 ½" x 9 ½" glass baking dish, or similar size. Cover and put in the refrigerator to set.
• Once 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.
