Method
- Place your chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a large mixing bowl.
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan until it reaches simmering point.
- Pour the coconut milk into the bowl with the chocolate.
- Stir and combine very gently & slowly to avoid the chocolate splitting .
- Add the rose water and vanilla extract.
- Transfer to a Tupperware or lidded container and put in the fridge for a minimum of 3-4 hours.
- On individual plates place the cacao powder, coconut and blitzed pistachios ready for rolling the truffles in.
- Use a melon baller to scoop balls of the truffle mix and then roll in your hands to shape further. Place each ball onto greaseproof paper.
- Roll each ball in a selection of cacao, coconut and pistachios. These will keep in an air-tight container for 5-7 days stored in the fridge.
