Ingredients

10 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
1/2 medium orange (zest and juice)
2 1/2 tablespoons ghee (cold, diced)
9 ounces 85% dark chocolate
1.5 fl oz 100% agave silver tequila
cocoa powder (for dusting)

Bring the coconut milk, orange juice, and orange zest to a boil. Once boiling remove from heat and let it sit for 1 hour.
Chop the chocolate into small slivers and place in a heat safe bowl.
Bring the coconut milk mixture back to a boil and stir in the ghee. Pour the boiling mixture over the chocolate and stir until incorporated.
If the chocolate doesn't fully emulsify into a smooth ganache bring 2-3 tablespoons of coconut milk to a boil and add to the mixture. (sometimes you need a bit more coconut milk)
Stir in the tequila and place in the freezer or refrigerator to set. Once it is set use a spoon to make small truffles using your hands to form it into a ball. Dust in cocoa powder and serve.

Recipe Notes

**It's best to keep these truffles in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week if you have any self control. For us they last less than 2 days.
