tips for the best cacao truffles

• use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture.

• keep the heat low while melting the cacao to preserve its rich flavour.

• if the mixture feels too soft to roll, chill it for another 30–60 minutes.

• try adding orange zest, cinnamon or a pinch of chilli for a different flavour twist.
