Valentine Truffles

This is the Valentine's gift I gave to my valentine this year. Last year, I made a box of chocolates in a box made of chocolate (see Box of Chocolates). This year I made truffles, spelling out "I LOVE YOU JULIAN", each truffle containing a different filling. The truffles are incredibly easy to make and very tasty - and they can be filled, dipped, and decorated as desired. Wrap them up in a special package and you have a divine gift straight from the heart. 

Dark Chocolate Truffles
1 cup chopped dark chocolate
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5 Tablespoons coconut oil
5 Tablespoons water
desired fillings
melted chocolate, for dipping, if desired (I used dark)
contrasting chocolate, for piping, if desired

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt all ingredients, stirring often, until smooth. Transfer to a shallow dish and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. The truffles should be firm enough to roll but not too hard that they are unmoldable.
Scoop up tablespoon-sized scoops and roll into a ball, placing a filling in the center, if desired. Place on parchment paper and chill until firm.

Once firm, chocolates can be dipped as desired, then placed on parchment and chilled until firm again. Then you may pipe on them.

Fillings I used:
coconut cream
cinnamon
crunch
fudge brownie
strawberry jam
cheesecake
date softie
raisin
cranberry chew
Nutella (of course)
peanut butter
almond crunch
dark chocolate
plain (two of them)
