Ingredients:

• 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 2 tsp peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• Crushed candy canes (optional, for decoration)

Instructions:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
2. Add coconut cream and peppermint extract to the melted chocolate, and mix well until fully combined.
3. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours until it becomes firm.
4. Using a teaspoon or a melon baller, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. If the mixture becomes too soft, refrigerate it for a few more minutes before continuing.
5. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated. You can also sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for decoration if desired.
6. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
7. Once set, the truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
