    Dark Chocolate Orange Bonbons made with coconut condensed milk, sweetened with raw organic honey and dipped in homemade dark chocolate.

    These bonbons melt in your mouth and have a creamy consistency with a hit of orange flavor. Very easy to make and impossible to eat just one! But not to worry because these are a very healthy treat, low in carbs, dairy free and sugar free.

    Ingredients

    • 1 can (400ml) full fat coconut milk
    • 3 tablespoons raw honey, or maple syrup
    • 4 tablespoons raw cacao powder
    • 1 zest orange
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    Chocolate Shell:

    • 2.5 tablespoons cacao butter
    • 3.5 tablespoons raw cacao powder
    • 1 tablespoons raw honey, or maple syrup
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
    To see the brands I use, click each ingredient above or visit my Amazon shop.

    Instructions
     

    • Mix the coconut milk and the honey in a sauce pan.
    • Bring milk to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. You will notice the mixture getting thicker and after 2 hours it should be thick enough so that it does not run off the spoon easily, and has a consistency similar to sweetened condensed milk.
    • Mix in the cacao powder and vanilla extract and cook under medium-heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly so it does not burn. When the mixture starts to release off the bottom of the pan and has a very thick consistency remove from the stove.
    • Add rind of 1 orange and let the mixture cool.
    • Place it in the fridge for about 2 hours. It is important it is cool before you roll it.
    • Remove from fridge, line your hands with butter and start rolling the truffles into balls.
    • Place truffles back in the fridge and go onto making the chocolate shell.

    Chocolate Shell:

    • Melt the cacao butter over a double boiler until it reaches 122°F/50°C.
    • Add the cacao powder, honey and vanilla and mix until all combined and the mixture reaches 122°F/50°C.
    • Remove the truffles from the fridge and dip each truffle in the chocolate shell mixture.
    • Place each truffle on a sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool and harden at room temperature or in the fridge.

    Notes

    Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
