Instructions:
Prepare the Truffle Mixture: Start by combining the shredded unsweetened coconut, melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, ensuring a uniform mixture.
Form the Truffles: Once the mixture is well combined, use a small scoop or spoon to portion out small amounts of the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, evenly shaped truffle balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy handling.
Optional Chocolate Coating: For an added touch of decadence, melt the vegan dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth and glossy. Carefully dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring that it is evenly coated on all sides. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before transferring the coated truffles back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
