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.

- Large pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
Instructions

- Remove both from the heat, and pour coconut milk over chocolate chips to finish melting. Mix until smooth.
