Ingredients
- 0.5 cups cocoa powder
- 2.0 cans of coconut milk
- 0.125 tsp. sea salt
- 2.0 tbsp. vegan butter
- Crushed or chopped toppings of your choice
Preparation
- Pour the coconut milk into a medium pot. Heat until it reduces a little, then add the cocoa, vegan butter, and salt. Stir constantly over low heat, letting it reduce until it has a consistency so thick that you can see the bottom of the pot when you move it.
- Pour the thick mixture into a greased container, and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for two hours.
- Using a spoon, form the mixture into balls of equal size.
- Coat them with toppings of your choice. Place them on a tray, then refrigerate them again for at least one hour before serving.
