Vegan Dark Chocolate Truffles

Vegan Dark Chocolate Truffles
100 grams dark chocolate, chopped or in pieces
1/2 cup liquid coconut oil
1/2 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
icing sugar, sifted

Place all ingredients in a microwaveable bowl and heat until the chocolate is melted, stopping and stirring frequently until mixture is smooth. As you continue to mix, the coconut oil will cause the mixture to firm up a bit. Place the bowl in the freezer and leave to chill for a few hours until firm enough to roll.
Roll into small balls, then roll balls in sifted icing sugar. Chill to set.

This is a super-easy chocolate truffle recipe that is super delicious. They are not sickly sweet nor rich, but equally delicious; proving you don't need butter nor cream to make good-quality chocolate truffles. You could always use a different type of chocolate (less percentage of cocoa), add slightly more corn syrup or cocoa, or vary the vanilla flavoring with something else or add spice to change up the truffles. As well, you could stir in small pieces of dried fruit or chopped nuts into the mixture, or place a whole nut or candied cherry in the center of the truffles.
