Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance the Flavor for the Recipe

  • If you love spice, feel free to add a bit more chili flakes for that extra kick.
  • Swap coconut milk for cashew cream for a thicker, richer texture.
  • Make the truffles ahead of time and store them in the fridge for when those chocolate cravings hit.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or green onions on top for a burst of freshness.
  • For an added luxury, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the chili before serving.
