Prepare the Ganache:
- Chop the vegan dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not boil.

- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Shape the Truffles:
- Place the desiccated coconut in a shallow bowl.
- Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out small amounts of the chocolate ganache and roll them into balls with your hands.
- Roll each truffle in the desiccated coconut to coat.
- Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Set the Truffles:
